This looks like one I want to try. The 2 Tbsp. of chicken broth is a measurement I’m not used to seeing and it makes me wonder … do you have a method that you use to have such an amount available without waste? Perhaps keeping small amounts in the freezer or something? Even using a bouillion cube dissolved in water is going to create an entire cup of “broth.”

Hi Shannon, I love to use silicone muffin trays to freeze things like that. Since they are silicone they are easy to pop out once frozen and store in a freezer bag. Mini muffin cups are 1 – 1 ½ tablespoons so they are perfect for things like this.
