Instant Pot Whole Chicken

Servings:

This chicken is perfectly tender and juicy. The flavor is subtle so it's a perfect canvas for many dishes or sauces. The vegetables are layered in the bottom of the cooker, creating a "rack" for the chicken, which helps add moisture and flavor.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1 Place celery, carrots, and onion in the bottom of a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®). Pat chicken dry and place on top of the vegetables. Sprinkle chicken evenly with salt, pepper, and paprika.
  2. 2 Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 25 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
  3. 3 Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Remove chicken and let stand for 5 minutes before cutting or shredding.
  4. 4 Strain solids from the cooking liquid, if desired. Set to Saute, and reduce by half for a flavorful sauce.
