8 Quart Insant Pot

3 lbs chicken*

1 small onion, peeled and whole**

3 large carrots, peeled and chopped

3 bay leaves

5 peppercorns

15 cups water or to max line (2/3 full)***

2 1/2 tsp salt

1 1/2 tsp oregano

1 1/2 tsp basil

2 tsp garlic powder

12 oz (3 cups) any pasta

1 bunch dill or parsley, finely chopped

STEPS

1. In Instant Pot, place whole chicken, onion, carrots, bay leaves and peppercorns.
2. Add cold water enough to fill up to 2/3 full line or approximately 10 cups.***
3. Close the lid, set pressure vent to Sealing and press Pressure Cooking for 30 minutes. Display will say ON, Instant Pot will take about 30-40 minutes to come to pressure, you will see a bit of steam coming out from a valve, then float valve will rise and countdown from 30 minutes will begin.
4. After, your Instant Pot needs to bring pressure down before you can open it, which will be indicated by a dropped down float valve. You can let it do it on its own which will take at least 30 minutes – Natural Release. OR you can do Quick Release by turning pressure valve to Venting position, which takes 3-4 minutes.
5. Open the lid and using a mesh strainer discard any foam, onion, bay leaves and peppercorns.
6. At this point chicken is so cooked, you can easily break it into pieces with a long utensil right inside the pot. Remove bones if you wish (they are super soft, so I take out only big ones).
7. Add salt, oregano, basil, garlic powder and pasta.
8. Stir, close lid, turn on Keep Warm and let pasta “cook” for 15 minutes.
9. Open, add dill and serve hot. That was easy dinner in one pot.
