Make the best homemade chicken stock in 45 minutes! Full of flavor, nutrients and can be frozen or pressure canned!





Instant pot filled with chicken bones, onion peels, and vegetables on a countertop, with eggs on a rack in the background.
A pot of simmering homemade bone broth infused with onion skins, vegetable scraps, and chicken bones, ready to become a flavorful base for soups or stews.

This is my favorite way to make Instant Pot Chicken stock, its so easy and there's no waiting for a pot of stock to simmer on the stove for 6 hours!


I save all of my chicken and turkey bones, along with my veggie scraps, I freeze them until I'm ready to make stock. Then I can pop them in the instant pot, cover with water and i have stock in 45 minutes!


This may be a quick way to do it, but the flavor is still so rich! You can freeze the broth for up to 6 months, or it can be safely pressure canned.
