Description
This Quick Bone Broth with Rotisserie Chicken (Instant Pot) is made with a carcass of a chicken, carrots, celery, and herbs in an Instant Pot.
Ingredients
Scale
- Carcass and bones of 1 chicken (start with rotisserie chicken)
- 10 cups filtered water
- 3 carrots, diced
- 2 celery stalks, diced
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1/3 cup chopped parsley and thyme
- 2 bay leaves
- 2 teaspoons whole peppercorns
- Generous amount of salt
Instructions
- In an instant pot, add the chicken bones, carrots, celery stalks, apple cider vinegar, parsley, bay leaves, peppercorns and season generously with salt.
- Pour in the water.
- Pressure cook on high for 3 hours at least, or longer. The longer it cooks, the better it will taste and the more nutritious it will be.
Notes
- Use High-Quality Bones: The quality of the bones you use will directly affect the flavor and nutrient content of your bone broth. Look for bones from grass-fed, pasture-raised animals whenever possible.
- Use Plenty of Vegetables: Adding onions, carrots, celery, and other vegetables to your bone broth will give it extra flavor and nutrition.
- Add Herbs and Spices: Adding herbs and spices such as thyme, rosemary, parsley, and bay leaves can enhance the flavor of your bone broth.
- Don't Overfill the Pressure Cooker: Make sure you don't fill the pressure cooker more than two-thirds full to prevent the broth from boiling over during cooking.
- Use Enough Water: Make sure to use enough water to cover the bones and vegetables. You can add more water if needed during cooking.
- Skim off Any Foam: During the initial stages of cooking, foam may rise to the surface of the broth. Skim this off with a spoon to keep the broth clear.
- Let the Pressure Release Naturally: After cooking, allow the pressure to release naturally instead of using the quick-release method. This will help prevent the broth from splattering out of the pressure cooker.
- Strain the Broth: Once the broth is cooked, strain it through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to remove any bones, vegetables, and impurities.
- Let the Broth Cool: Let the broth cool to room temperature before transferring it to storage containers. This will prevent the containers from cracking or breaking due to rapid temperature changes.
- Store Properly: Store the bone broth in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days or in the freezer for up to 3-4 months. Be sure to label the containers with the date and type of broth.
