Ingredients
- 4 pounds raw chicken (whole or parts with bones, or 2 lbs boneless raw chicken)

- water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Remove any excess fat and skin from chicken.

- Heat to boiling. Reduce heat. Cover and simmer until chicken is done, about 45 minutes.
- Cool chicken. Strain broth and save. Remove chicken from bones and cut into pieces.
- To reduce fat, chill broth. Fat will rise to the top and become firm. Remove and discard this fat.

- Pour 1 1/2-2 cups broth into each container.
- Seal, date, and label containers. The chicken and broth can be frozen for up to 6 months.
