Instant Pot

whole

chicken

and vegetables

I love this Instant Pot Whole Chicken with Vegetables because I can throw everything in the Instant Pot and be done with dinner. The vegetables infuse the chicken with flavor and the meat falls right off the bone. 

I’m super visual which is why I always try to include in-process shots. This way you know things are supposed to look like when you’re comparing your version to mine.

Ingredients

butter chicken olive oil fresh thyme fresh rosemary Salt and pepper lemon potatoes carrots onion minced garlic chicken broth

to brown the chicken you can do this a couple of different ways. I added a bit of olive oil to the Instant Pot on the sautee setting and seared the top of the chicken for 5 minutes until it released easily from the bottom. However, you can alternatively place the chicken in the oven on broil setting after cooking in the Instant Pot for a quick, crispy skin.

Note

Making whole chicken in the Instant Pot frees you up to do other things so you don't have to babysit the oven or stove.
