Want a kitchen hack that will boost the flavor of dozens of recipes and keep things healthy and diabetes-friendly? Use homemade chicken stock wherever you can . Swap it out for store-bought in recipes that call for broth or stock; substitute it for water when boiling veggies or grains; or use it in soups, stews, and chilis. You’ll be amazed at how much flavor it adds to a recipe, and by preparing it at home you can cut the sodium without cutting taste. If you’re intimidated by the thought of making stock at home, don’t be . It’s very simple, and the payoff is absolutely worth it.
