This is a simple and delicious recipe. I use drumsticks with the dark meat and bones to slow cook a more nutritious chicken broth. You could also use a similar sized package of chicken thighs or legs.
Add the chicken to the crockpot:
Add one onion and garlic:
Add carrots and celery:
Add whatever seasonings you prefer
I used turmeric, salt, pepper, oregano.
Add frozen veggies – I added peas.
An hour before finishing, I added frozen green beans.
Cover with filtered water:
Cook on high for 4-6 hours – I usually do the 6 to make a rich broth:
The recipe makes 5 servings – I separated out the chicken from each drumstick into a serving and added veggies and broth. It also made a couple of extra pint size jars of broth and veggies.
This is one of my favorite recipes to use for the GAPS diet. Rather than cooking a whole chicken, I am able to mange a few days of broth and soup and none is wasted. A simple change of seasoning and veggies and you have a completely different soup. You can also leave out the extra veggies and make a chicken stock for other recipes. A simple, nutritious meal.
