HEART-HEALTHY CHICKEN BROTH (& YUMMY BONUS CHICKEN)

Steps:

• Place water into large stock pot, leaving approximately 3" between water level and top of pot. (I begin heating the water on high heat immediately as my 20-quart stock pot takes about 30 mins to start boiling liquids. BE CAREFUL not to burn yourself when adding remaining ingredients!).
• Remove chickens from pkg and wash thoroughly inside and out; add to stock pot.
• Add remaining ingredients, being careful not to burn yourself.
• Heat to a rolling boil, then simmer over medium heat for 90 minutes.
• Remove from heat and cool approximately 1 hour.
• Remove chickens from broth. Remove skin and meat from bones; discard skin. Refrigerate or freeze meat for later use.
• Return bones to broth. Place broth into container(s) and refrigerate for 8 hrs or overnight.
• Remove as much of the fat that has congealed on top as possible. (You could save this "schmaltz" and use it as an oil substitute.).
• Put broth and bones into large stock pot; bring to boil and simmer over medium heat for 1 hour. Remove from heat and cool.
• Strain broth; discard bones. Veggies may be discarded or used in another dish. (I give the carrots and celery to my dog as a treat.).
• Broth may be used immediately or placed into appropriate containers for refrigerator or freezer.
• NOTES: Don't be alarmed by the fat content per the Nutrition Facts. Remember, you skim off the fat. The tarragon adds an essential flavor and makes a big difference if left out. I also like to use Vidalia onions for a little sweeter flavor. I wonder how red onion would work out? Hmmm -- :-).

HEARTY ROASTED CHICKEN RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400˚F (200˚C). Grease a baking sheet with nonstick spray.
• On a cutting board, pat the chicken dry with paper towels, including the cavity, then rub with 2 teaspoons of salt.
• In a small bowl, combine the hearty spice blend and the softened butter and mix well. Rub the butter mixture all over the chicken, including under the skin.
• Spread the potatoes and carrots on the prepared baking sheet and toss with remaining teaspoon of salt and pepper. Place the chicken, breast side up, on top of the vegetables.
• Roast the chicken for 1 hour, or until the internal temperature of the thickest part of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C). If the skin starts to brown too quickly, tent with foil or reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C).
• Let the chicken rest for 20 minutes before carving. Serve with the potatoes and carrots on the side.
• Enjoy!
