Ingredients
Method
InstantPot or Pressure Cooker
- Place the chicken in the Instant Pot or Pressure Cooker.
- Add the onion, garlic, celery, carrots, thyme and ginger to the pot.
- Add the water and then the sea salt.
- Place the lid on the Instant Pot, set the pressure valve to 'seal' and select the poultry option (this will give 15 minutes of pressure cooking).
- If using an electric pressure cooker, set the pressure to high and set the timer for 15 minutes.
- Once the Instapot or pressure cooker is finished, remove the chicken and set it on a large plate to cool a bit.
- Pull all the meat off the bones, return the meat to the soup in large chunks or chop into smaller pieces.
- Serve warm and enjoy.
Crockpot
- Place your onion, garlic, celery, carrots, thyme, and ginger to the bottom of a 6 quart or larger crock pot
- Place your whole chicken on top of the vegetables, add your water and salt
- Cover and cook on high for 4-5 hours or low for 7-8 hours (until the chicken is cooked through and falling off the bone)
- Remove the chicken from the crock pot to a large plate or baking sheet, let cool slightly and then shred all of the meat with your hands (discard cartilage, bones, etc)
- Add the meat back to the broth and serve warm
- Enjoy
