How To Cook A Stewing Hen
  1. Place the stewing hen in the insert of the Instant Pot and drop in the remaining ingredients around the chicken.

  2. Pour in the filtered water filling the pot to just below the max fill line.

  3. Pressure cook on manual high pressure for 100 minutes.

  4. Once done cooking, let the Instant Pot naturally release pressure for 10 minutes then switch the valve to venting and quick release the remaining pressure.

  5. Remove the lid and transfer the stewing hen to a cutting board with tongs.

  6. Strain the broth into a large glass bowl or jars and let cool to room temperature.

  7. Discard the veggies the hen cooked with (I usually save the carrots though and eat those!).

  8. Once cool enough to touch, remove the skin from the chicken and pick apart the meat transferring to a bowl or container.

  9. Use as desired.
