Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Combine chicken parts, ground chicken, onion, carrot, celery, parsley, and 4 cups water in cooker insert. Lock on lid, making sure steam-release valve is in the proper sealed position. Select “Manual” and program for 1 hour at high pressure (it will take about 20 minutes for the pressure to build before cooking automatically begins).

    Step 2

    As soon as the time has elapsed, let pressure release naturally (this will take about 30 minutes). Strain stock through a fine-mesh sieve into a large glass measuring cup or airtight container. Let cool, then skim fat off top before using.
