    • 2 cups carrots (diced)
    • 2 cups zucchini (diced)
    • 2 cups button mushrooms (diced)
    • 2 stalks celery (chopped, including the leaves)
    • 1 cup chicken stock (add an extra cup if you want it soupy)
    • 2 cloves garlic
    • 2 teaspoon salt
    • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
    • to taste black pepper

    Instructions

    • Add ALL the ingredients into your instant pot.
    • Seal the lid and set to cook for 45 minutes on HIGH.

    Tips and Tricks:

    1. You can also use a whole chicken, chicken breasts or even rotisserie chicken. (See post for more details).
    2. If you choose to use chicken breast, I suggest either cutting them into bite-sized cubes, or letting them cook whole. If you choose to cook them whole, remove and shred the chicken with two forks and add back into the pot.

      Delicious! My wife and I just had bariatric surgery in October, and th calories per serving, is was a tasty dinner treat - even though we can only eat two ounces (a quarter cup) at a time.

      Speaking of which -

      Regarding the nutritional content - what is the serving size? And it's 149 calories per serving, correct?

      Hi! Do you think I’d have to change the recipe if I used frozen chicken thighs? (Boneless/skinless).
      Would the veggies get too mushy?
      Thank you!

      Do you add the rotisserie chicken before or after the cook time?

        Hi, if you’re using rotisserie chicken I would add it at the end and just allow it to heat up.

        Hi! I’ve fixed the recipe card, not quite sure why the protein count wasn’t showing! It’s 12g of protein per serving. Hope that helps.

      Where is the carb count?? This does NOT appear to be keto-friendly due to 1) carrots, 2) canned tomatoes, possibly the onions. Misleading at best.

        Hello Phil! The Carb count is 5.2g per serving, and 3.8g if you’re counting Net Carbs. It is visible at the very bottom of the recipe card. If that does not fit in your diet, then this recipe is not for you. It sure fits into other people’s diet, so we are definitely not in the business of misleading. Hope that answers your question.
