Grandma Egans Chicken Stock Recipes

GRANDMA'S CHICKEN CASSEROLE

From Grandma Smith. From this recipe, I make one large casserole and one 8-inch round casserole. I think the recipe could be halved easily, but when making for myself, I freeze one casserole for later use. Freezes well.

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Place chicken breasts in a large pot; cover with water. Season with salt and pepper and bring to a boil; reduce heat, cover, and simmer until chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 15 minutes. Drain and let cool, 5 to 10 minutes. Chop into small pieces.
Mix chicken, canned vegetables, chicken soup, sour cream, water chestnuts, onion, and Cheddar cheese in a large bowl. Pour into a large baking dish. Sprinkle crushed crackers over the top and dot with butter.
Bake in the preheated oven until the filling starts to bubble and the topping browns, about 30 minutes.

CHICKEN STOCK

This recipe for an intense, lovely chicken stock is full of deep flavors and provides a perfect base for soup. Feel free to use leftover bones from roast chicken, but at least half of the bones should be raw. Ask your butcher for feet, heads and wings, which are all high in gelatin and will lend body to the stock. Once cooled, freeze the stock in old 32-ounce yogurt containers, which have the added benefit of being premeasured.

Steps:

Put everything but the vinegar in a large stockpot. Bring the stock to a boil over high heat, then turn down to a simmer.
Skim off any foam that rises to the surface. Add the vinegar. (It helps draw out nutrients and minerals from the bones into the stock.)
Simmer the stock for 6 to 8 hours, covered, keeping an eye on it to make sure it stays at a simmer.
Strain the stock through a fine-meshed sieve. Let cool.
Scrape the fat that rises to the top. (Save it in the fridge or freezer for matzoh ball soup.) Refrigerate for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
