Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup dried chicken cooked and dehydrated
  • ¼ cup dried onion flakes
  • 2 tbsp garlic powder
  • 2 tbsp dried parsley

  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • 1 leaf bay leaf crushed

Instructions
 

  • Prepare chicken – Dehydrate cooked chicken in a dehydrator or oven until fully dry. Grind into a fine powder.
  • Dry vegetables – Ensure onion, garlic, and celery flakes are completely dry to increase shelf life.
  • Combine ingredients – In a large mixing bowl, mix chicken powder, dried vegetables, herbs, turmeric, pepper, paprika, and salt.
  • Grind mixture – Blend until uniform and fine to ensure even flavor distribution.
  • Store properly – Place in an airtight jar in a cool, dry place. Lasts up to 6 months.

Notes

  • Adjust salt to taste.
  • Optional: add mushroom powder or nutritional yeast for extra umami.
  • Can be made vegetarian by skipping chicken and using extra dried vegetables.
