Vegetable vs. Chicken Stock - Which is Best?

[kam]

I am making this tonight for a cluster meeting.

It calls for Vegetable Stock - but I plan on using Chicken Stock instead. Is there anyone reason (besides the vegetarian issue) that I shouldn't use the Chicken stock?

Thanks!!!

Probably not - you'll have to let us know how it turns out.

OK thanks!

We'll see how it turns out.

Hi there! As a fellow Pampered Chef consultant, I wanted to chime in and give you some advice. While chicken stock can definitely add a delicious flavor to your dish, there are a few reasons why using vegetable stock may be a better option. Firstly, vegetable stock is a great option for those who are vegetarian or have dietary restrictions. It allows everyone to enjoy the dish without worrying about any meat-based ingredients. Additionally, vegetable stock is typically lower in calories and fat compared to chicken stock, making it a healthier option. However, if you don't have any dietary restrictions or are not concerned about the calorie/fat content, then using chicken stock should be fine. It may even enhance the flavor of your dish! Just keep in mind that the overall taste and texture may be slightly different than if you were to use vegetable stock. I hope this helps and that your cluster meeting is a success! Happy cooking!
