Instant Pot Chicken Broth
This recipe is free until September 20, 2023. 12 WEEKS FOR $1 TO ACCESS EVERY MILK STREET RECIPE. Learn More.
The Instant Pot takes the effort out of homemade broth; our version takes just 10 minutes hands-on time. Chicken wings, which contain ample collagen, yield a rich, full-bodied broth. Use this as a base for passatelli en brodo, or in any recipe that calls for store-bought or homemade chicken broth. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days or freeze for up to a month.

Tip
Don’t forget to allow a 20-minute natural pressure release after cooking is complete. If the steam is released any sooner, the pressure remaining in the pot may cause liquid to spout out of the vent.

Recipe
Passatelli in Brodo
Directions
-
01In a 6-quart Instant Pot, combine the chicken, onion, bay, ½ teaspoon salt and 2 quarts water.
-
02Lock the lid in place and move the pressure valve to Sealing. Select Pressure Cook or Manual; make sure the pressure level is set to High. Set the cooking time for 1 hour. When pressure cooking is complete, let the pressure release naturally for 20 minutes, then release any remaining steam by moving the pressure valve to Venting. Press Cancel, then carefully open the pot.
-
03Cool for about 30 minutes. Strain the broth through a fine mesh strainer set over a large bowl. Cool to room temperature, then use a wide spoon to skim off and discard any fat on the surface. (Alternatively, once the broth has cooled, cover and refrigerate until cold, then scrape the congealed fat off the surface.)

Absolutely delicious
This is as good as a consommé. My only issue - with chicken wings priced at $8 a pound this is an expensive broth to make. Broth at $16 a quart is considered pricey at my house. For cooking, I will stick with Swanson's Chicken Broth [$3/quart] which got high scores on an ATK testing. I'll save this treat for sipping in a moment of zen. With luck, the price of chicken wings will drop.
Hi. I was under the impression that homemade chicken stock could be frozen for quite a bit longer than a month. (If not, I'm in trouble.) Is there something about this stock that makes apt to go bad faster?
Hi David -
We always stay on the conservative side of freezing since we wouldn't want you to make one of our recipes, freeze it, and then be disappointed in the results. That being said, we think this would probably be fine for 3 months or so. Just make sure to cool completely before freezing and store in an airtight container leaving at least 1/2" at the top to account for expansion (if there's more than 1/2", press plastic wrap directly on the surface of the broth and then add the cover of the container to prevent freezer burn). Just keep in mind that the freezer zaps flavor from food so the longer it stays in the freezer the less flavorful it will ultimately be.
Best,

This recipe makes an excellent broth! I did add a bit of carrot, celery, and black peppercorns to the pot. So easy too!
