After roasting a chicken, I usually toss the carcass into a large pot with veggies and let it simmer away while I clean up. After straining, I pour the stock into Mason jars leaving headspace, cap and store in the freezer. If you don’t have homemade chicken stock, purchased will work just fine in this recipe.

I usually plan for leftovers when roasting a chicken just so I can make it do double duty. If you don’t have leftover chicken and delicious alternative is to pick up a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store. They are always tender and pretty inexpensive.
