Chicken Broth in a Slow Cooker

SUBMITTED BY: Micki Stout  PHOTO BY: Linda 

"This is the recipe I use to make chicken broth for use in other recipes. Because it's done in the slow cooker, you don't need to fuss with it. I like to use breasts and wings, but any bone in pieces will make a nice broth."
