CHICKEN IN A POT - CROCKPOT OR OVEN OR INSTANT POT

CHICKEN IN A POT
We loved this recipe!  Used leftovers to make soup.  Found in crock pot cookbook pg. 168.

UPDATE: A co-worker (Cindy Crump) told me how she likes to do this.  I made it and YUM!  I need to make this more.  In roasting pan at 350 put a full size chicken some peeled cut up potatoes and carrots (cut carrots small).  Put oil on bird and top with salt, pepper, Italian seasoning and paparika.  Cook for 2 hours.  It was so tasty the skin on top got crispy and the potatoes on top were roasted. Yum!  We had with blueberry biscuits.

2 carrots, sliced
2 onions, sliced
2 celery ribs, cut in 1" pieces
3 # chicken, whole or cut up
2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 tsp dried basil
1/2 cup water or chicken broth

Place vegetables in bottom of slow cooker.  Place chicken on top of vegetables.  Add seasoning and water. 

Cover.  Cook on Low 8-10 hours or High 3 1/2-5 hours (use 1 cup liquid if cooking on High).

Note: To make this a full meal, add 2 medium-sized potatoes, quartered, to vegetables before cooking. 

ANOTHER RECIPE
Found this on Pinterest
We all really liked it.  Put it in the instant pot frozen. Just rubbed the mixture on it.  I used two drops of thyme essential oil.  Did pressure cooker 11 minutes but could have done 10.  Can save the juice for soup or any recipe that needs a broth.

1/2 tsp each salt, pepper, onion powder, thyme (or essential oil drops), basil, paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
3/4 cup water (or chicken broth) in bottom of instant pot
