Ingredients
  

  • 1, 5 lb. whole chicken
  • 2 large carrots
  • 1 large onion
  • 2 celery stocks
  • 1 bulb garlic cut in half
  • 1 bunch of parsley
  • 4 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 1 sprig fresh rosemary about 4 inches
  • 10 whole peppercorns
  • 3 bay leaves
  • 1 tsp. kosher salt
  • 10 C water

Method
 

  1. This is so great to make and have on hand. It’s a double duty recipe. You not only get this amazing homemade chicken broth, but you also get the cooked chicken for other recipes. I love to make a chicken soup and then some kind of casserole with the chicken. I get multiple meals from this one pot.
  2. First wash your carrots, celery, parsley, and thyme. There is no need to peel any of your veggies. We will strain this broth when done. The veggies will give up all their goodness, so we will not use these in another dish.
  3. First, put your chicken in the bottom of your instant pot. I then put all the veggies and spices. Last put your water. I have an 8-quart instant pot so my pot will take 10 cups of water. You want to make sure that you don’t overfill. There will be a fill line on your pot.
  4. Seal your instant pot, put on manual and high pressure. Set the cook time for 60 minutes. Once done, I let it naturally release for 10 minutes. Press the release valve to let out the rest of the pressure. The pin will drop when all pressure has been released. This way you know it is safe to open the pot.
  5. Once done, put a strainer over a large bowl. Remove the chicken to a platter so you can pull the meat for another use. Strain the liquid with the veggies over the bowl. Let your broth cool completely. You can then skim the fat off the top. It’s now ready to use or freeze.
