I also cheated a bit, and will add 2 or so chick boullion cubes. I purchase cubes imported from Poland. They are not as sodium laden as the others, and have a bit more flavour.

But then there's no chicken meat.... and it's mostly NACL.
When Oven Stuffer Roasters go on sale for 79¢/lb I'll buy two, quarter
them and roast the dark meat and make golden Jewish penicillian from
the white meat.
