You can use unsalted chicken broth in a pinch. f you are occasionally
home for a few waking hours you should save chicken bones and make
stock. Many cookbooks have instructions, all different. Or you may see
'fowl' or 'stewing hen' where you get chickens. Use those for staock
also.

If you live in a big city you may find plastic containers of stock
(chicken, beef, and veal) in a freezer at your store. Also I have seen
stock in sterile unrefridgerated containers in a Whole Foods.

I haven't tried it. Being retired, I usually make my own.
