Notes

3 pound chicken: 18 minutes on high pressure
4 pound chicken: 24 minutes on high pressure
5 pound chicken: 30 minutes on high pressure
For every pound add 6 minutes, for every half a pound add 3 minutes to total cooking time for whole chickens.
Be sure to allow pressure to naturally release for at least 10 minutes, preferably 20 minutes.
Total time: 10-15 minutes to come to pressure + cooking time based on size of chicken + 10-20 minutes pressure to release

For Phase 1 we get the breast portions, which is majority anyway. When cooked, I take off as much meat as possible, keep the bones to throw back into the pot with celery and other spices to make your own bone broth! Jar and saved in your refrigerator.
