I&rsquo;ve seen on TikTok call for a tablespoon of chicken bouillon paste or granules in addition to the stock. If you are using broth or stock that is already salted, the additional bouillon may make it too salty. Adjust based on the richness and saltiness of your stock\/broth. You may also want to reduce the bouillon if you are using salted butter. One teaspoon was the perfect amount for us.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>While it takes a little longer to initially establish a boil, we like using a Dutch oven because it retains the heat well.

If you are using broth or stock that is already salted, the additional bouillon may make it too salty. Adjust based on the richness and saltiness of your stock\/broth. You may also want to reduct the boullon if you are using salted butter. One teaspoon was the perfect amount for us.&nbsp;<\/span><div class=\"wprm-spacer\"><\/div>\n<span dir=\"ltr\" style=\"display: block;\">While it takes a little longer, we like using a Dutch oven because it retains the heat well.
