Step 1

Mix the seasoning in a bowl and then rub it on the chicken. Make sure you don’t leave any part without seasoning.

Step 2

If you want, stuff the chicken with an onion and a lemon.

Step 3

Optional Step: Press the Sauté button and put your chicken breast side down. Leave it this way for 4-5 minutes and then turn the Instant Pot off. Pull out the whole chicken out to continue with the recipe instructions.

Step 4

Put the rack that came with your instant pot inside the pot. Then, add one cup of water or chicken broth. Put the chicken on top of the rack – breast should face up and legs should be touching the rack.

Step 5

Add all the vegetables around and on top of the chicken. Make sure to fill in all the gaps with vegetables.

Step 6

Then add 3 tablespoons of butter on top of the veggies and chicken. I usually add one tablespoon at the time and spread it out.

Step 7

Put the lid on, make sure the steam release handle is on ‘venting’. Press on the ‘slow cook’ option, then adjust it so it cooks on low (less). Set the time to 7 hours.

Step 8

Once it’s done all you have to do is dish it up and enjoy!
