Low FODMAP Instant Pot Whole Chicken

Low FODMAP Instant Pot Whole Chicken is a quick and easy way to cook an entire chicken with the added bonus of creating low FODMAP chicken broth in the process.

Who else is an Instant Pot convert? I first heard about the Instant Pot several years ago, but refused to buy one. I didn’t want another kitchen gadget that would likely just sit and collect dust.

That was my thought process … until I bought an Instant Pot. I invested in an Instant Pot earlier this year and now that I’ve gotten the hang of it (it can be a little intimidating at first), I love it and use it almost as much as my slow cooker.

Although I enjoy the simplicity of being able to create complete meals, like my Low FODMAP Instant Pot Chicken Cacciatore, in the Instant Pot, I really like being able to save time on cooking more basic items that can be used throughout the week like hard-boiled eggs or today’s Low FODMAP Instant Pot Whole Chicken.

Whole chickens tend to be more affordable than chicken breasts or even chicken thighs. And, I like that leftover chicken can be used in a variety of dishes. Prior to my Instant Pot purchase, I had been making my Low FODMAP Lemon Roasted Chicken on a regular basis. Recently, I’ve converted to this recipe because there’s the added bonus of a little bit of low FODMAP chicken broth being created in the process!

Serving Suggestions

More often than not, I will serve this chicken with simple sides like:

• Steamed green beans – A low FODMAP serving is 12 beans or 86 grams.
• Steamed broccoli – A low FODMAP serving is 1 cup or 90 grams
• Baked potato – A low FODMAP serving is 1 medium or 122 grams.
• Sweet potato – A low FODMAP serving is 1/2 cup or 70 grams.
