30 minute Chicken & Broth
Running short on time? Need a quick dinner idea? What if I told you, you can take a FROZEN chicken and cook it in 30 minutes and it will be fall-off-the-bone-tender!?! And — Wait for it — and you’ll have beautiful chicken broth too! 
It just takes one thing to make this possible.. a Pressure Cooker. I realize everyone didn’t grow up with Pressure Cookers in their mom & grandma’s kitchens like I did -nor did most of you start cooking in a Pressure Cooker when you were just 20 years old. I get that Pressure Cooker may make you nervous, but I promise they aren’t scary. New Pressure Cookers  (like the 6 quart Stainless Steel Pressure Cooker that I have & love) have safety features to prevent anything unfortunate from happening. Just read the book, follow this directions and you’ll be fine! And, TRUST me. Once you start using a Pressure Cooker you’ll be bummed out you waited so long to start using one! Ok, so back to turing a frozen whole chicken into dinner in 30 minutes, right!?! I can’t stress enough the importance of supporting local farmers and strictly only purchasing pasture raised/organic/gmo & soy free chicken for your health. I know they cost more than cheap grocery store chicken, but we all know that it’s not healthy to eat food that’s been raised with soy & gmo feed, pumped full of antibiotics and led an abused life – confined indoors. Heard of Karma. Yeah. Buy local, know your farmer. You’ll reap the rewards in the end, I promise.

Can you make beef bone broth in a pressure cooker as well?
yes – the same way. I prefer to roast my beef/lamb/venison/pork bones before making them in to broth for a deeper flavor.
I must say I am one of those people who is afraid of a pressure cooker.
