Time 2h20m

Number Of Ingredients 16

4-5 lb chicken, cut up
water to cover chicken
SEASONING:
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp thyme
1/2 tsp sweet marjoram
3/4 Tbsp salt
1 tsp pepper (use more at the end to finish)
THE PROCESS:
2 dash(es) grapeseed oil (glugs)
32 oz chicken stock
FINAL THOUGHTS:
1 stick butter
water

Steps:

  • 1. Put 2 glugs of olive oil in the IP, set to saute. Allow to heat and add a few chicken pieces at a time to brown slightly. Remove to a side dish/bowl. Shut off IP
  • 2. Add chicken broth and scrape the fonds off the bottom. Add in chicken pieces (big ones on the bottom). Cover with enough water to cover the chicken. Add spices/herbs and stir.
  • 3. Set IP for 30 minutes pressure. Natural release, remove chicken pieces with a slotted spoon to a bowl. Allow to cool enough to debone.
  • 4. Taste the broth in the IP after removing chicken. Add more spices/herbs if you need to (you won't). Add 1 stick of butter to the broth and enough water to make a good cooking broth for the dumplings to cook.
  • 5. See the recipe for Nanny's Dumplings to complete this dish. I cook the dumplings in the broth FIRST....then add in the cooked chicken after. We like it more soupy.....my mother always served this over mashed potatoes. Nanny's Dumplings: https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/main-course/chicken/nannys-dumplings.html
