Once you taste this delicious homemade slow cooker chicken bone broth it will be difficult for you to go back to store-bought chicken stock from cans or cartons.
Not only is the taste so much richer and full of flavor, it’s far more nutritious and it does not contain any of those nasty preservatives that come in some of the store-bought varieties.

One of my favorite things to do after I make this both is to pour the broth into ice-cube trays to store for a later use. That way I always have it on hand when it’s needed.
These are the ice cubes trays I use https://amzn.to/3zQVbjJ
With my ice-cube trays, 4 frozen cubes of the chicken bone broth equal 1 cup. Once the cubes are frozen I place the cubes in a zip lock freezer bag and place in the freezer so I have chicken stock anytime I need it.
Until Next Time…

Oooo I always love finding new slow cooker recipes. They’re so easy and my go to!
I’ve made my own stock for years – it’s so much better than any I can buy! And I also freeze it – love tossing a cube into vegetables to steam them, for instance.
This looks so good!! I will definitely have to try this one of these days! I love that you freeze your broth when you make it–so smart! Thanks for the tips!
I never thought about freezing my bone broth. That is such an amazing idea!
I’m on a gut-healing diet at the moment so bone broth is one of my diet staples. I’ve mostly been buying it but now I’ve seen how easy it is to make it I’ll have to give it a go!
I love this idea!! I have never made my own chicken broth before, but now I want to try!!
Gabrielle, it is so easy to make you’re going to love it!
I recently got a slow cooker and I will give it try!
I’ve been saving vegetable scraps and bones to make my own broth and I love your idea of pouring them into ice cube trays and freezing for portions!
I love the idea of saving them in ice cube trays! I also have never thought of putting any seasoning (besides bay leaves and peppercorn) in my broth. I’ll have to give it a try!
This is such a great idea. I don’t usually use my slow cooker to make bone broth but I don’t know why I never have. This makes it so easy. Definitely doing it next time.
I love how easy this is and I get to use my slow cooker!
