1 medium onions, peeled and cut into wedges
•

1 (4 pound) whole chicken

1.5 teaspoons kosher salt

Instructions

Place celery, carrots, and onion in the bottom of a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®). Pat chicken dry and place on top of the vegetables. Sprinkle chicken evenly with salt, pepper, and paprika.
Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 25 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Remove chicken and let stand for 5 minutes before cutting or shredding.
Strain solids from the cooking liquid, if desired. Set to Saute, and reduce by half for a flavorful sauce.
