Instant Pot Chicken Stock Recipe
There isn't a day in our Test Kitchen that goes by without us needing chicken stock. That's why this super-quick and easy recipe using the magic of an Instant Pot has been saving us lately. Throw in a whole chicken with vegetables and aromatics, and you're less than 30 minutes away from stock perfection, ready to be used in whatever you're cooking.
The best part of this recipe is you not only get stock, but a whole boiled chicken as well. Feel free to shred the meat and serve it in the broth with some veggies for a simple chicken soup. If you have other plans for your stock, save the meat for chicken salad or quick lunchtime sandwiches.
