A Little Bone Broth Tip
Our Free Range Chicken Bone Broth is a delicious base for slow-cooker meals. As the chicken cooks, the broth combines with the honey, mustard and herbs to create a beautifully savoury cooking liquid that becomes a creamy sauce.
For a lighter version, leave out the cream and simply thicken the cooking liquid with cornflour.
Simple ingredients. Delicious meals. Real family cooking.
