Pressure Cooker Whole Poached Chicken and Chicken Broth

Instructions

1. In the pressure cooker, combine all of the ingredients. Season with salt. Cover and select the Poultry function. Set the machine to cook for 30 minutes.
2. Let the pressure release naturally (about 15 minutes), and remove the lid. Transfer the chicken to a plate and let cool before deboning and removing the fat. Strain the chicken broth through a sieve and compost the bones, vegetables and spices. Let the broth cool, then cover and refrigerate to allow the fat to rise to the surface and congeal, if desired. Degrease the chilled broth before using or freezing.
3. The broth will keep for 4 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator, or for up to 6 months in the freezer. Use in soups, risotto, sauces, etc. Use the cooked chicken in salads, sandwiches, rice, pasta, quesadillas, soups, etc.
