Instant Pot Country Chicken
Our Instant Pot Country Chicken recipe will have an entire family dinner on the table quickly and easily!
Ingredients
3 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken pieces (any combination)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup chicken stock
1/2 teaspoon gravy seasoning, such as Kitchen Bouquet
3/4 pound baby new red potatoes, cut in half
1 celery stalk cut into quarters
1 pound carrots, peeled and cut into large pieces on the bias (about three pieces per carrot)
3/4 pound boiler onions trimmed and peeled
4 sprigs fresh flat leaf parsley
2 sprigs rosemary
2 sprigs thyme
1 1/2 cups frozen green peas, thawed
3 tablespoons melted butter
5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Brush the chicken pieces with oil, then salt and pepper and set aside.
- Mix the chicken stock with the gravy seasoning and add to the Instant Pot.
- Place the steamer rack in and layer in the potatoes.
- Add the celery.
- Nest the chicken pieces in a single layer.
- Add the carrots and onions.
- Tie a string around the herbs and lay over the top.
- Place on the cover and lock in place and make sure valve is set to seal.
- Set the Instant Pot on pressure cooker normal high for 12 minutes .
- The Instant Pot will take about 25 minutes to heat and then start the 12 minute countdown.
- After 12 minutes, release pressure.
- Once pressure has released, remove lid and with tongs, place chicken pieces onto a broiler pan.
- Add the peas to the pot and place the lid back on. (the heat from the Instant Pot will cook the peas).
- Broil the chicken to crisp the skin and remove to a platter.
- Using a slotted spoon, remove vegetables to the platter.
- Discard the herbs and remove the rack.
- Mix the melted butter with the flour in a small bowl. (This is called a Beurre Manie. If it was cooked, it would be called a roux. It is important to cook the sauce for three minutes after adding to cook out the raw flour.)
- Switch the Instant Pot to the ‘Sauté’ setting.
- Using a wire whisk, whisk the butter-flour mixture into the liquid left in the Instant Pot and cook for three minutes to thicken and cook out the raw flour. Strain through a strainer into a gravy boat.
- Serve the thickened sauce on the side with the chicken and vegetables.
