Chicken stock is such an easy way of enhancing the overall flavor of a dish. This recipe will come together in an instant pot, but do not worry, you can also do it on a normal pot if it’s what you’ve got on hand; it will just take longer, but it’s totally doable. The combination of chicken bones with aromatics creates such a beautiful golden broth, full of flavor, and undeniable quality. You can easily make this at home and save some money opposed to buying the more expensive brands. This is the recipe you need when you run out of chicken stock!
