2. Add lemon zest and chicken stock and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and continue cooking until liquid has reduced by 25%.

Chicken Broth and Chicken Stock can be used interchangeably in most recipes. Generally speaking, stocks are made from bones and broths are made from meat. Stocks tend to be thicker (more collagen) and broths tend to be thinner but more flavorful.
