Chicken Bone Broth

Making your own chicken stock is a great way to nourish your body. When cooked low and slow, stock contains collagen and important amino acids to support gut health, mental health, blood sugar regulation and reduce inflammation. You can collect chicken bones in your freezer along with parsley, carrot, onion and celery scraps until you are ready to make stock.
