Easy Instant Pot Chicken Stock
Using your Instant Pot to make homemade Chicken Stock is a game changer. Easy Instant Pot Chicken Stock is gluten free, whole 30, paleo friendly and most definitely easy.
If you ever thought making your own chicken stock was hard I’m here to tell you it’s not. Especially when you use an Instant Pot (pressure cooker). I grew up in a home where my Momma didn’t waste anything. I have a “waste not, want not” mentality ingrained in me. When I roast a chicken, I make stock afterwards. Period.
My Mom didn’t have a pressure cooker and would make her stock the old school way, with a large stock pot on the stove simmering for HOURS. I used to make my chicken stock that way, until I found out I could achieve even better flavor using my Instant Pot.
Making homemade chicken stock is as easy as putting everything into the pot, turning it on and then straining your golden elixir into jars when it’s done. You can use your newfound stock in recipes like my QUICK AND EASY HOMEMADE CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP.

Use leftover risotto to make crunchy on the outside, creamy on the inside Saffron Risotto Cakes. An incredibly addictive snack or appetizer.
Anyone who knows me, knows that I absolutely positively HATE to waste food. It pains me if something goes bad before I can use it or transform it into something new and exciting. Hearing the word leftovers doesn’t make me cringe. Quite the opposite in fact. I love the challenge of transforming leftover food into something different and delicious. I feel like most times, that’s is where I’m at my most creative in the kitchen.
I get that trait from my Momma. One of the most resourceful people I’ve ever known. She could open a refrigerator and pantry, and what would look like we’re going to have to order a pizza to most people, she would put together an incredibly delicious filling meal in no time at all. My Momma was my kitchen unicorn.
Transforming leftover risotto into Risotto Cakes is something she did often. That crunchy exterior and creamy interior is incredibly addictive. So amazing, you’ll forget these were leftovers to begin with.
