You want to make your own homemade soup, but you just feel like you don't have the time to make your own chicken stock. Is that what's troubling you, Bunky?
Fuss no more. This "cheater" chicken broth is simple, quick and is great for the busiest households. Next time you buy (or defrost) uncooked chicken for a meal, snag an extra 4 to 6 bone-in breast pieces, or 2 to 3 whole breast portions with the bones. Skin chicken if you want a lower-fat, clearer broth. I always skin my chicken and trim the fat off the meat when I make this broth.
Bones are what give great flavor to broths and stocks. This recipe is a broth--a hot liquid made with just the chicken pieces and few other ingredients. Stocks include bones, but also add veggies, usually root vegetables, for added flavor.

Should you prefer your broth meat-free, use the poached chicken breast sliced in sandwiches, shredded and warmed with barbeque sauce, or mixed into this favorite dip.
