Discover the secret to making high-quality keto chicken bone broth in a crock-pot. Get all the benefits of collagen and gelatin in this homemade recipe.

Simple Nutrient-Rich Keto Crock-Pot Bone Broth

Making collagen-rich keto chicken crock-pot bone broth is easy to prepare and store for future use.

The most significant part of making a high-quality bone broth is the collagen and gelatin that form after you cook it down.

You know the part you want to scrape off because it looks like cold butter or jelly fat.

Don’t; it’s delicious, and the best bone broth is always made at home.

The best way to drink bone broth is hot, but you’d be amazed at the many ways it can be used in cuisine.

Crock-Pot vs. Stove-top, Instantpot and Pressure Cooker

You don’t need a crock-pot to make homemade bone broth as it can be made on the stovetop, pressure cooker, and now an Instantpot.

Mrs. CBB said her mother always had a stove-top pot of chicken broth simmering as a bowl of soup served at lunch and dinner.

Her parents’ house had no food waste as they used vegetable scraps and chicken feet for the bone broth.

She would have a bag in the freezer to put her onion peels, carrot peels, and celery cut-offs for stock-making.

The soup was just something small to start the meal, and this family tradition continued when I came into the picture.

As the years passed and Christmas gifts from Santa showed up, she was gifted a crock-pot, which became her new kitchen tool.

Making a crock-pot bone broth is easy because you can set it and forget it.

The crock-pot was a dream come true for her, as she hadn’t been a big fan of the pressure cooker since her mother was born in 1918.

We have Mrs. CBB’s grandmother’s ancient pressure cooker in our kitchen cabinet, but have yet to use it.

The new rage is the Instant Pot, although we have not purchased one since our crock-pot meets our needs.

The Instant Pot will make homemade bone broth the quickest, but not everyone cares about that convenience.

Keto Diet and Bone Broth

These days, Mrs. CBB makes crock-pot bone broth every week, which is a large part of her keto lifestyle.

Since starting keto, she has moved on to intermittent fasting and extended fasting.

Her most extended fast was a 10-day water fast, and to break that fast safely, she made crock-pot bone broth for her refeed.

She couldn’t wait for that one cup of bone stock to rejuvenate her taste buds once her 10th day was up.

Although many people drink broth to lose weight, consider the benefits first and foremost.

Bone broth is also easy for your body to absorb and aids digestion, especially if you are constipated.

Bone Broth To Go

We keep Organika Chicken Bone Broth and Organika Beef Bone Broth on hand when she is on the go.

All she does is put two scoops in a cup with salt, turmeric, and parsley and fill it with hot water.

It mixes easily, and we’ve found the best prices on Amazon Canada instead of the grocery or health food stores.

Benefits Of Sipping Bone Broth

Since fasting, she has had a cup of homemade bone stock daily, as many health benefits come with it.

I can verify that her hair is fantastic, and her acne-prone skin is now acne-free and clear.

She also suffers from a bit of arthritis, which is another reason she’s added it to her keto meal plan.

I drink it for all of the reasons below for my body today and in the future.

Top 10 Benefits of Bone Broth

These are only 10 benefits of bone broth, but there are many more.

1. Supports arthritis pain, joints, and joint mobility
2. Fights Osteoporosis
3. Strengthens bones and teeth
4. Helps with a good night’s sleep
5. Weight loss support for the keto, low-carb, Paleo, and intermittent fasting lifestyle
6. Great for your skin, nails, and hair
7. Boosts Immunity
8. Hydration, which is why some people drink it when they fast
9. Restores  and builds muscle after a hard workout
10. Insulin regulation

Bone Broth Nutrition

Chicken stock from the carcass is something we’ve done many times after buying a rotisserie chicken.

Whether you use the entire cooked bird or the bones, making rotisserie chicken bone broth will make a delicious crock-pot bone broth.

When doing our keto grocery shopping at Costco, we look at the cold counter for cooked rotisserie chicken, which is reduced to $5.99.

That’s a great price if you want to take a pre-cooked whole chicken and use the chicken bones to make a crock-pot bone broth.

Roasting bones for the stock will draw out more flavor, which is why it’s one method we use.

If we have chicken quarters roasting in the oven for bone stock, we will ensure the skin gets nice and crispy.

On the other hand, we also use raw organic chicken if we can find a good deal to make our homemade crock-pot chicken bone broth.

Nutritious Bone Broth

While Mrs. CBB was visiting a Keto Lifestyle Show in Toronto earlier this year, she stopped to talk to an organic bone broth vendor.

She wanted to learn about his bone broth ingredients and what the benefits were.

After purchasing a small bottle of beef bone broth with 2 cups for $7.99, she decided to make it herself.

Proper crock-pot bone broth is filled with nutrients such as;

• Iron
• Vitamin K
• Glucosamine
• Vitamin A
• Magnesium
• Calcium
• Zinc
• Collagen
• Amino acids

You can also buy Collagen Peptides if you want a collagen boost without broth.

This high-quality Certified Collagen powder we buy dissolves easily in water or beverages and is gluten-free, Paleo, and Keto-Friendly.

Uses For Crock-Pot Bone Broth

Homemade chicken bone broth is not only delicious and nutritious, but it is also widely used in various recipes.

For example, many homemade soups use bone broth as part of the base for the soup recipe.

A simple bone broth vegetable soup is perfect to make when you have crock-pot chicken bone broth ready.

Once you add the bone broth, include any spices you’d like and your choice of chopped vegetables.

I posted our keto egg drop soup recipe, where the base begins with our crock-pot bone broth.

Keto Chicken Broth is also great in winter when you don’t want a big meal but would rather have a hot, savory beverage.

Bone Broth For Colds

Drinking bone broth for colds is also common for those with swollen throats or just feeling under the weather.

You don’t often feel like eating anything when sick, and making broth is easy and nutritious.

However, you may have a wonky tummy for whatever reason, and bone broth is soothing when you go down the tunnel.

How To Make Keto Crock-Pot Bone Broth

Note: The printable Chicken Bone Broth Recipe is below.

You can substitute the chicken bones for any meat bones you like or omit the bones to make a vegetable broth.

• 1.5kg or 3.3 lbs of chicken bones or parts, including feet or any bones you like, such as beef or turkey.
• 1 litre of warm water to cover (depending on the size of the pot)
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons of avocado oil or extra-virgin olive oil
• 3 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon chopped ginger with peel
• 1 medium yellow with peel for a nice golden broth, chopped
• 3 stalks of celery, chopped
• 2 bay leaves
• 1 tablespoon black peppercorns
• 1 tablespoon pink Himalayan salt
• Optional: I use all of these
• 2 tablespoons Tumeric
• 1 tablespoon of dry mustard
• 3 whole cloves
• 1/3 cup of cherry tomatoes
• 2 medium carrots, chopped with peels

Crock-Pot Chicken Bone Broth Instructions

• If you are roasting the chicken, first do so in your oven, then peel off all the chicken meat.
• Use the bones for your bone broth.
• Add all the ingredients into a large 6-quart crock-pot or appliance.
• Cover with warm water, then mix.
• Program your crock-pot for as long as you can on slow.
• Ours goes 10 hours, so I program it three times, as I like to cook it for 24 hours.
• When finished, strain the cooled bone broth to remove the vegetables and spices.
• If you used raw chicken, remove the pieces from the crockpot to remove any meat.

How To Store Bone Broth

We store bone broth in plastic containers or bags and lay them flat in a roasting pan in the freezer.

Once frozen, we store them in the freezer on top of each other to save space.

If you use your bone broth within a week, keep it in the refrigerator.

I don’t believe bone broth research is done, as more benefits will likely be revealed.

As you might have guessed, every pot of bone broth will differ based on how it is made.

Until then, we will continue to use bone broth in our diet, whether crock-pot or instant bone broth.
