Very easy to make. I used fresh parsley instead of the dried basil. Used the broth for a soup recipe also from allrecipes. Its great to make my own broth and not used store bought.

I have used a recipe like this for years and everyone always wants to know what makes it so good. I use bay leaf insteat of basil and I add some whole cloves. The cloves seem to be the secret ingredient that no one would think to add and when I tell them they always say but I don't really like cloves and particularly not with chicken. I do not add enough to make it overpowering, probably about six or seven, just depends on how much broth I am making.

I make this with the bones from a rotisserie chicken carcass and strain it with a mesh strainer to get all the teeny bones out. Doesn't even need any seasoning, just water. Then I freeze it in ice cube trays. Fab.

If you leave out the veggies from the slow cooker and just use the chicken, you can add those lovely vegetables after the broth has been cooled, refrigerated and all the coagulated fat removed. Then you have soup.

Easy, and a great way to use up some left over chicken pieces, but I actually think it needed a little bit of salt.

I definitely will be making this again especially when I have a chicken carcass. My first try was with roasted drumsticks and because of my mistake didn't turn out well but the concept is solid. Thanks!

Wow.....I was surprised when I opened the lid after cooking what a rich, dark broth I had. This is really the way to go when you dont want to babysit a pot on the stove all day. I used a carcass from a small store bought roaster chicken, I also added 8 instead of 6 cups of water, and I added some dried thyme which we love the flavor of in addition to all of the other recipe ingredients. Also added some sea salt and pepper to taste. Great recipe...will most definately make this again since I love slow cooker recipes. Thanks!
