✅ Why This Recipe Will Change Your Kitchen Game

• 🔥 Meal Prep Magic: Grab a jar for instant protein in soups, salads, or tacos—no thawing!
• 💰 Cost Saver: Use budget-friendly bulk chicken or leftover rotisserie birds.
• 🍲 Versatility King: Broth-infused chicken adds depth to ANY dish (even dog food!).
• 🔒 Safety First: Pressure canning ensures botulism-free, shelf-stable meals.

🍗 Ingredients (Makes 7 Pint Jars)

• 4-5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs (or pre-cooked rotisserie chicken)
• 4 cups chicken broth (homemade or low-sodium store-bought)
• 1 tsp salt per jar (optional, adjust to taste)
• Optional: 1 garlic clove or fresh rosemary sprig per jar
• 1 tbsp white vinegar (for cleaning jars, not the food!)

👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prep the Chicken: Raw? Trim fat and cut into 1-inch chunks. Cooked? Shred meat, discarding bones/skin.
2. Sterilize Jars: Wash jars/lids in hot soapy water. Keep hot until filling.
3. Pack Jars Tight: Add raw chicken chunks or cooked shreds, leaving 1¼-inch headspace. Pour hot broth over, keeping 1-inch space. Add salt/herbs if using.
4. Can It Safely: Process pints for 75 mins or quarts for 90 mins at 11 PSI (adjust for altitude).
5. Cool & Store: Let jars rest 24 hrs. Check seals, labels, and stash in a dark pantry!

💡 Pro Tips

• 💥 Raw vs. Cooked: Raw chicken yields tender meat; pre-cooked is faster but slightly drier.
• 🌿 Flavor Boost: Add a dash of smoked paprika or thyme to jars before canning.
• ⚠️ Never Skip This: Use a pressure canner—water bathing is unsafe for meat!

📦 Storage & Serving Ideas

• ⏳ Shelf Life: Lasts 1-2 years unopened. Refrigerate after opening and use within 4 days.
• 🍜 Use It All: Toss into a chicken pot pie, enchiladas, or ramen. Even the broth is gold!
• 🎁 Gift Smart: Pair with a recipe card for “Emergency Chicken Noodle Soup.”
