Pressure Cooker Chicken Broth Recipes

Steps:

• If you want to roast the bones first, heat the oven to 450ºF. Lay the bones out on a rimmed baking sheet and roast until well browned, 25 to 35 minutes.
• Put the bones (roasted or not) in the pressure cooker pot and add all the remaining ingredients. Cover with 3 to 3 1/2 quarts of water (the water shouldn't come more than two-thirds of the way up the side of the pot). To make regular stock, cook on high pressure for 1 hour if using all chicken or poultry bones, or 2 hours for beef or pork bones or a combination of poultry and meat. For bone broth, cook on high pressure for 3 hours for poultry bones, and 4 1/2 hours for beef, pork, or mixed bones. When making bone broth, you'll know you've cooked it long enough if all the connective tissue, tendons, and cartilage have dissolved and the bones crumble a bit when you poke at them. If this hasn't happened, cook it on high pressure for another 30 minutes and check it again.
• Allow the pressure to release naturally. Use the broth or stock right away, or store it in the refrigerator or freezer. Bone broth and regular stock will keep for 5 days refrigerated or up to 6 months frozen.

Steps:

• Place all ingredients in a 6-qt. electric pressure cooker. Lock lid; make sure vent is closed. Select manual setting; adjust pressure to high and set time for 45 minutes. When finished cooking, allow pressure to naturally release. , Remove chicken; set aside until cool enough to handle. Remove meat from bones. Discard bones; save meat for another use. Strain broth, discarding vegetables and seasonings. Refrigerate 8 hours or overnight. Skim fat from surface.

Steps:

• Place chicken in a 6-qt. electric pressure cooker. Combine broth, lime juice and chili powder; pour over chicken. Lock lid; close pressure-release valve. Adjust to pressure-cook on high for 6 minutes., Quick-release pressure. A thermometer inserted in chicken should read at least 165°. , Remove chicken. When cool enough to handle, shred meat with 2 forks; return to pressure cooker. Stir in lime zest. If desired, serve with cilantro., Freeze option: Freeze cooled meat mixture in freezer containers. To use, partially thaw in refrigerator overnight. Microwave, covered, on high in a microwave-safe dish until heated through, stirring occasionally; add a little broth if necessary.

Steps:

• Put the chicken thighs in a 6- to 8-quart pressure cooker and crumble the miso on top. Add the scallions, mushrooms (if using), garlic and broth or water. Stir well to combine. Cook on high pressure for 25 minutes. Let the pressure release naturally for 15 minutes, then release the remaining pressure manually. Open the lid.
• Remove the scallions with tongs or a slotted spoon. (If they are overcooked, discard them. If they are not, chop them and add them back to the soup.) Using tongs or a slotted spoon, transfer the bone-in chicken to a bowl to cool. (If using boneless chicken thighs, you can shred them directly in the pot.)
• Stir the bok choy, tamari and mirin into the pot. Using the sauté function, cook until the bok choy is wilted but still brightly colored, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the meat from the chicken bones, shred it and add it back to the pot.
• Taste the soup and whisk in a few more spoonfuls of miso or tamari, if desired. If the soup tastes too salty, add some water and mirin.
• Divide the noodles among four or five bowls and ladle the soup on top. Top each with sliced fresh scallions, a halved soft-boiled egg, sesame seeds and a piece of nori.

Steps:

• Place the chicken wings, vegetables, salt and black peppercorns into a 7-quart pressure cooker. Pour in enough water just to cover everything. Do not fill above the cooker's "maximum fill" line, or 2/3 full. Cover and lock the lid. Bring to pressure over high heat, about 20 minutes. Reduce the heat to low, so that you barely hear hissing from the pot. Cook for 40 minutes.
• Release the pressure using the cooker's release device (read the manual), or cool the cooker by running cold water over the lid for 30 seconds. Open carefully.
• Set a cheesecloth-lined colander in a large bowl or container and strain the broth. Discard the solids. Refrigerate the stock overnight, or until the fat solidifies. Remove the fat. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 6 months.
