Gluten Free Low Carb Whole30 Paleo Keto

This recipe has been a staple in our home for many years and it has done a fair bit of evolving over time to reach this level of yumminess. And now, thanks to the Instant Pot, it’s probably one of my very favorite throw-together one pot meals EVER.

This Instant Pot Chicken Stew gets made at least once a week and it usually yields enough for two meals. Can’t argue with an easy recipe that gives enough leftovers for a second meal!

On top of that, it is a nutrient dense meal that tastes absolutely delicious!

How To Cook Instant Pot Chicken Stew?

This Instant Pot Chicken Tomato Stew recipe can be easily adapted to fit a Paleo or Keto diet. If you’re on a Paleo diet, I recommend adding about 2 cups of halved baby potatoes in addition to the other ingredients. For a Keto Chicken Stew, make the recipe as is, or even add some cauliflower florets!

This recipe works great with a whole chicken, chicken pieces, or even a rotisserie chicken.

With a whole stewed chicken I generally remove the chicken for the instant pot after releasing the pressure, and then shred it apart really quick, before adding back to the stew. This is super quick and easy because the meat falls right off the bone. It also helps to distribute the meat evenly throughout the stew.

The Ingredients You Need:

Chicken
Onion
Carrot
Mushrooms
Celery
Zucchini
Canned Tomato
Chicken Stock
Garlic
Dried Thyme
Salt and Pepper

Step-By-Step Instructions:

Grab your instant pot,
Throw all the ingredients in it. (Photo 1-4)
Seal the lid.
Set it to cook for 45 minutes on high pressure. (Photo 5)
Quick release the pressure once it’s done.
Voilà! Serve and Enjoy! (Photo 6)
