Getting Started

Always verify your chicken broth is certified gluten-free. Many brands are, but always check the label for hidden gluten-containing ingredients or cross-contamination warnings.
Use gluten-free chicken broth to rehydrate dried mushrooms or other dried vegetables. This infuses them with flavor and ensures they contribute moisture to your baked dishes.
When thickening sauces for baked dishes, use gluten-free alternatives like cornstarch, arrowroot powder, or a roux made with gluten-free flour. Mix a slurry with cold broth before adding to hot liquid to prevent lumps.
For savory gluten-free baked goods like muffins or quick breads, replacing some of the water or milk with gluten-free chicken broth can add a significant depth of flavor and help maintain a moist crumb.
