Ingredients

4 medium chicken breasts
1 large carrot, roughly chopped (no need to peel)
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1/2 onion, roughly chopped
5cm knob ginger, skin on
3 spring onions, finely chopped
1.7l water

Method

1. Add the chicken breasts, carrot, garlic, onion, ginger, spring onions, and water to a medium-large pot.

2. Bring to the boil over a high heat. Turn down the heat to medium-low, and simmer for 1.5 hours.

3. Strain the stock through a colander, discarding any solids and saving the chicken for another use.

 

Storage: The quick chicken stock can be stored in the same way as the regular chicken stock. For easy portions, divide the stock among the compartments in an ice-cube tray, or into 240ml (8fl oz) serving sizes, before freezing.
