Homemade Chicken Broth

This Instant Pot Chicken Broth is a delicious addition to your soups and stews!

Instant Pot Chicken Broth instantloss.com

Broth is used in so many recipes!  When I first started cooking with my Instant Pot I was using so many different broths I thought to myself there has got to be a better way to do this! I was spending so much money on something I could make from what I was literally throwing away. That’s when I decided to start making my own!

Instant Pot Chicken Broth is so simple to make and you don’t have to question where the ingredients come from or what they are because you have complete control over everything that goes into it! Organic low sodium chicken broth can cost up to $8 for 32 oz! This recipe makes four 32oz jars and is completely free!

After making a rotisserie chicken I freeze the leftover scraps and bones along with celery, onion, and carrot ends. When I’m ready to make my broth I empty the contents of my freezer zip lock bag into my Instant Pot and I get more use out of the scraps that I would have normally just thrown away!

This is a great recipe because it will also save money when it comes to that already lengthy expensive grocery list. Chicken Broth can be used in so many different ways and I love that you can have it on hand when any of those recipes that need it.

This broth pairs beautifully with my Instant Pot Beef Stew, Instant Pot Refried Beans, and my Instant Pot 10- Minute Chicken Stew! 

If you make this recipe please share a link to the recipe online and tag me (@instantloss)! I love to see what you are cooking up in your kitchen!

Instant Pot Chicken Broth

Author Brittany Williams

Ingredients

  • chicken bones/skin/leftover pieces from a rotisserie chicken
  • celery
  • onion
  • carrots optional
  • ground black pepper optional
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley optional
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme optional
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary optional
  • 1-2 bay leaf optional
  • filtered water

Instructions

  1. Add all ingredients to your Instant Pot pressure cooker. I like to put my stainless steel strainer basket in first and then add the ingredients, it makes straining easier at the end.

  2. Fill pot with filtered water until it hits the MAX FILL line.

  3. Put the lid on the pot and seal. Make sure the vent valve is in the SEALING position.

  4. Using the display panel select the MANUAL/PRESSURE COOK function. Use the +/- buttons and select 90 minutes.

  5. When the time is up let the pot naturally release the pressure and cool till warm or room temperature. Remove the bones and the bay leaf from the broth and store in 32 oz glass mason jars in the refrigerator until ready to use.

Recipe Notes

Note: I chose not to add salt so that I have more versatility when seasoning my dishes.

      3-5 days. If you’re not going to use it within that time period you should freeze it. 🙂

    If you are freezing this in Mason jars, leave at least 2 inches of head space or the jars will crack when it freezes. I freeze my extra broth all the time this way and have no problems. Instant Pot is great for making broth!

    I love this recipe! I like to freeze min in ice cube trays, the pop out and store in larger containers. Each cube is approx 1oz, so if I need one cup, I just throw in 8 cubes. 🙂

    I freeze soups in large muffin pans then pop out when frozen and place in zip lock bags and back in the freezer. This would work for this broth also!

    Hello again, Brittany! Just came from your Whole Chicken recipe. I’m wondering how long it takes to let the broth sit after the 90 minute pressure cook. Is it ready right when the natural pressure release is finished?
    And another dumb question, does MANUAL/PRESSURE COOK mean high pressure? ^~^#

    I used this recipe to make turkey stock with the leftover bones from Thankgiving. Delicious!
    Can I use this recipe to make a ham stock with those leftover bones? Should I change the other ingredients in any way?

    If you are a couple of tablespoons of vinegar it helps get Calcium and Collagen out of the bones. Super good for your b ones, gut, skin and nails.

I was craving a bacon, egg and cheese McGriddle so I was craving a bacon, egg and cheese McGriddle something FIERCE this morning!  I haven’t had one in a decade so I don’t even know where that craving came from but I decided to make my own! ⁣
⁣
I made the Gluten-Free English Muffin Thins on page 77 of Instant Loss Eat Real, Lose Weight. I scrambled a few eggs, added Whole30 approved @butcher_box bacon, and topped it off with a little organic ketchup and 100% pure maple syrup.⁣
⁣
It. Was. BEYOND y’all! ⁣
⁣
It took me about 30 minutes total, less than Door Dashing or driving to McDonalds and driving back. It also only cost me about $4 to make them for my entire family, instead of— well, whatever McDonalds is charging these days. Best of all it was actually a nutritious breakfast that is going to enable my body to feel and perform best! 🙌⁣
⁣
Yay for Saturday brunch! I hope you have a lovely weekend!

Anyone who has ever tried to cut junk food out the Anyone who has ever tried to cut junk food out their diet has experienced the dreaded junk food withdrawal. Researchers found that people attempting to cut down on eating highly processed foods experience some of the same physical and psychological symptoms — such as mood swings, cravings, anxiety, headaches and poor sleep — as those quitting smoking cigarettes or using.⁣
⁣
More and more research has suggested that the foods we eat, which are often highly processed and contain excessive amounts of sugar, could cause changes in the brain that are similar to those seen with addictions to drugs, like alcohol and tobacco, creating addiction-like responses. ⁣
⁣
Participants reported withdrawal symptoms were worst between days 2 and 5. Which fits because day 3 is always the day I want to throw in the towel. However, I’ve done this enough times to know now, if I just push through the day 3 withdrawal, it’s usually pretty smooth sailing on the other side. ⁣
⁣
Junk food is usually high in four addictive substances— salt, fat, caffeine, and sugar.⁣
⁣
Sugar generates dopamine, a neurotransmitter that delivers messages to the “rewards center” in the brain. Dopamine basically reminds your brain that it needs to repeat the pleasurable activity that just gave it a boost. Sugar high jacks this response and tricks the brain into thinking you need more of that substance.⁣
⁣
Detoxing from these responses is very difficult. Something I like to tell myself when I’m going through the withdrawal period is, “you can have that, just not today.”⁣
⁣
The moment we completely take something away we put ourselves into a restrictive mindset that can trigger other behaviors, like binging. ⁣
⁣
The first weeks are difficult because your body is trying to regulate your blood sugar levels and balance insulin levels that can go hand in hand with the addiction. During this time it’s essential that you are getting enough sleep and drinking enough water.⁣
⁣
Knowledge is power. Preparing yourself for withdrawal symptoms when embarking on a healthier eating journey can set you up for success. ⁣
⁣
Writing this on Day 3 of my sugar detox. Withdrawal headache in full force. ✌️ We’ve got this friends.

“Be confused, it’s where you begin to learn ne “Be confused, it’s where you begin to learn new things. Be broken, it’s where you begin to heal. Be frustrated, it’s where you start to make more authentic decisions. Be sad, because if we are brave enough we can hear our heart’s wisdom through it. Be whatever you are right now. No more hiding.” — S.C. Lourie
Everyone always wants to know what salad dressing Everyone always wants to know what salad dressing I use and the answer is— my own! It’s so incredibly easy to make your own dressings! ⁣
⁣
A must-have simple formula:⁣
1. Oil⁣
2. Vinegar⁣
3.  Something special, like horseradish, Dijon mustard or citrus.⁣
4. A little honey if you like a touch of sweetness.⁣
5. Salt and pepper ⁣
⁣
And don’t forget to season your ingredients! Act like you’ll be eating each one individually. Tomatoes and cucumbers need salt and pepper, avocados need citrus. ⁣
Use whatever herbs you can find— parsley, basil, cilantro, lemongrass, chervil, etc. ⁣
Add a little cheese— no, not shredded mozzarella. I’m talking FLAVOR! Add feta or if you’re lactose-free use goat cheese!⁣
Hot sauce, minced garlic, Thai fish sauce, jalapeño, green onions— use all the things, don’t be afraid to experiment!⁣
Your salad is only as boring as you allow it to be. 🤗❤️❤️⭐️
