But, since they're so small, it can be easy to forget about them when you run out. Here are some\u00a0chicken bouillon substitutes to turn to when your jar is empty.\r\n

The Best\u00a0Chicken Bouillon Substitute<\/strong><\/h3>\r\nThe best substitute for chicken bouillon is definitely chicken broth<\/strong>. It doesn't matter if it's store-bought or homemade (although our homemade chicken broth recipe<\/a> is my favorite) using chicken broth will give your recipe the homey, poultry-rich flavor that you're looking for from bouillon cubes.\r\n\r\nSimply replace the amount of other liquid in your recipe with chicken broth. For example, if the recipe calls for one bouillon cube and one cup of water, replace the\u00a0bouillon cube and water with one cup of chicken broth. By the way, here are some chicken broth substitutes<\/a> for when you run out.\r\n

Other Chicken Bouillon Substitutes<\/strong><\/h3>\r\nSometimes, you even don't have chicken broth on hand (don't worry, we've all been there). In those instances, you have two choices. Get to know the difference between bouillon and broth<\/a>.\r\n\r\nThe first is is to replace a quarter of the liquid with dry white wine<\/strong>. So, for a\u00a0recipe calls for one bouillon cube and one cup of water, replace the\u00a0bouillon cube and 1\/4 cup of water with a 1\/4 cup of white wine. The resulting flavor will be a bit lighter than if you used a\u00a0bouillon cube, but will still be delicious. Just be sure to let the alcohol cook-off. Here are some more ways you can cook with wine<\/a>.\r\n\r\nThe second option is good ol' water<\/strong>. While water won't be as flavorful as using a\u00a0bouillon cube, it'll still get the job done. You can boost the flavor by increasing the seasonings already called for in the recipe, or add about a tablespoon of poultry seasonings.\r\n

What's a Low-Sodium\u00a0Chicken Bouillon Option?<\/strong><\/h3>\r\nThere are a few low-sodium bouillon options available for that chicken flavor. Be sure to read the nutrition label carefully so you know what you are buying.\r\n\r\nA teaspoon of regular bouillon granules (equivalent to a bouillon cube) contains about 900 mg of sodium. In comparison, a teaspoon of Wyler's reduced-sodium bouillon<\/a> has about 600 mg of sodium. Herb-ox is another national brand and offers a sodium-free bouillon<\/a>.\r\n\r\nThese 15 low-sodium foods can also help cut your sodium intake<\/a>.\r\n\r\n\t\t\t
