Homemade instant pot chicken stock! If this is not one of the easiest electric pressure cooker recipes then I don’t know what is. Tons of vegetables cooked with leftover chicken to make delicious and rich homemade chicken bone broth. This is definitely better than store-bought, and you only need 40 minutes to make it. Let me show you how to make the best with this easy and quick recipe.
You can now tell the family to be little forgiving when eating their next bone in chicken meal. Time to say goodbye to shop-bought chicken broth for your next dish. I bet you would agree with me that homemade in this instance is better, you are in control of what goes into this stock. Whole and natural ingredients. Everything in this chicken stock you can pronounce all. It is gluten-free, dairy-free and most importantly, jargon and preservatives free.

This recipe works for both vegetable and beef broth. Just swap the chicken for vegetable or beef. Don’t have an instant pot? you can also make this stock on the stove top or in a slow cooker but it takes longer unlike if you use a pressure cooker which made instant pot my no one choice.
In Nigeria, we mostly make delicious rich stock from raw beef, pork, turkey or chicken. I will share the recipe with you soon as it is still my most preferred method of making stock. Today’s recipe features roasted chicken bones and that makes delicious broth too.
As I mentioned earlier, most of the recipes you make at home calls for some rich, low in sodium delicious broth as a base. You need chicken broth to make delicious soup like this creamy broccoli soup, to carrot soup to this vegetable soup. Rice or pasta dishes: creamy mushroom pasta just to name a few.
