Pressure Cooker Chicken Recipe

Begin by rubbing Flavor God Lemon Garlic seasoning all over the outside of the chicken. We LOVE Flavor God seasonings because they have NO additives, are low in salt and are non-GMO! They are my go-to seasonings because they have TONS of different flavor combos!

Turn the Instant Pot on to “Saute” and add organic coconut oil. Heat until melted and add the chicken, breast side down and sear until browned. Then flip the chicken over and add organic chicken broth, lemon juice, garlic cloves and sprinkle chicken with parsley. I did not use the trivet when I cooked my chicken because I like it to sit in the broth and really soak up the flavors. It has not ever burned to the bottom of the pot by doing this. Do whichever way you wish, with or without the trivet will work!

Lock the pressure cooker lid and ensure the valve is turned to sealing. Now set the Instant Pot for manual 25 minutes on high. Once the pressure cooker finishes cooking let the pressure release naturally. This usually takes 15 minutes or so. I love this pressure cooker chicken recipe because I can put everything in the pot and walk away! No standing over a stove cooking.

Remove chicken from Instant Pot and let rest for 5 minutes before carving. I love serving my pressure cooker chicken in my favorite Rachel Ray casserole dish. It makes for a pretty presentation at dinner parties and wows the guests! Plus you can cut it right in the dish.

DON’T toss your remaining broth and bones! We will use this afterwards to make an amazing pressure cooker chicken stock! Save the broth and bones (just leave what’s in the pot there and save the bones after dinner). I’ll be sharing my Instant Pot chicken stock recipe in an upcoming post so be sure to subscribe to my email newsletter (top of the page) to get that recipe delivered to your inbox!

    I’v never heard of an instant pot, but I love the flavor combos in this. I’ll try it with your standard oven roasted chicken. 🙂

      It is a great flavor combo. An instant pot is a just a pressure cooker. Think of enjoying your favorite whole chicken meal in less than hour. It is amazing!

    It seems your timing is off. You have 5 mins prep + 25 mins cook = 30 mins. But you didn’t add in the 15 mins for the cooker to do its “natural release ” nor the 5 min resting time before slicing. So, start-to-ready to slice = about 50 mins.

    I love this recipe but cannot find an instant pot as large as yours to fit a whole chicken. Can you please let me know the brand or maker of your pot? I’d like to purchase the same one. Thank you!

      Hi Carmela, Sure! The whole chicken fits in both the 6 quart or the 8 quart Instant Pot. I bought mine from Amazon: This is the one I have http://amzn.to/2tKUitT Let me know if you have any other questions!

    Can you add carrots, potatoes and celery to this? If so how would I do it? I just got a instant pot for Christmas and this looks easy to do!

      I think you could but I haven’t tried it so I’m not sure if they will come out too soft/hard. I’d have to try the times myself to perfect them. I’dd add the carrots and potatoes and celery whole to try and prevent them from getting too mushy. Alternatively, you can dice them all up and cook them after the chicken is done while you carve the chicken.
