Chef Tips

- Do not let the broth boil vigorously; keep at a gentle boil to prevent the fat from emulsifying and clouding. - Strain the broth through a fine sieve lined with a clean cotton cloth to retain solid particles. - Use cooked and shredded chicken breast to prepare pie fillings, salads, or nutritious soups.

Variations

- Caldo dourado tostado: doure os pedaços de frango e os legumes no azeite antes de adicionar os dois litros de água. - Caldo asiático: adicione três fatias finas de gengibre fresco e um dente de alho amassado ao cozimento. - Sopa completa de legumes: devolva o frango desfiado e as cenouras fatiadas ao caldo coado.

Substitutions

- Chicken breast can be enriched or substituted with chicken carcass or wings, which add more collagen. - Celery can be replaced by sliced leeks or fresh parsley stalks in the pot. - Dried bay leaf can be complemented with fresh sprigs of thyme or whole black pepper grains.

How to Store

Wait for the broth to cool and store in airtight glass containers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Before using, remove the thin layer of fat that solidifies on the surface for a totally clear broth.

Can You Freeze It?

Freezes excellently in ice cube trays or BPA-free plastic containers for up to 3 months. Thaw directly in the pan over low heat to use as a base for risottos, soups, sauces, and stews.

What to Serve With

Serve very hot in deep bowls with buttered toast, slices of rustic bread, or grated parmesan cheese on top. Works as a base for cooking rice, preparing chicken soups, or capeletti soups.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is it necessary to remove the foam that rises at the beginning of boiling?

The foam is formed by denatured soluble proteins that, if not removed, make the broth opaque, cloudy, and with a residual flavor.

Posso congelar o caldo com os legumes e o frango juntos?

O ideal é coar e congelar apenas o líquido puro; o frango desfiado pode ser congelado em pote separado para melhor aproveitamento.

How do I easily degrease the broth after cooking?

Leave the broth in the fridge overnight; the fat will form a solid white plate easy to remove with a spoon.

Should salt be added at the beginning or at the end of the preparation?

Put only a pinch at the beginning and correct at the end, as the liquid reduces during 1 hour, concentrating the seasonings.
