What each ingredient does

Chicken
Releases meat flavour and body into the broth as it simmers.
Gelatine
Sets the cooled broth into a firm, sliceable jelly.

The step that matters

Bring to a boil after adding the gelatine. Gelatine must dissolve fully first, and prolonged or vigorous boiling can weaken its setting power. Bring the broth back to heat only until it is hot and evenly mixed, then pour it into the mold to cool.
