Today I’m going to show you how easy it is to make a pot of golden delicious Instant Pot Bone Broth with whole chicken and natural herbs. That’s just say it is OUT OF THIS WORLD !

How to make Chinese Instant Pot Bone Broth

To make a pot of golden delicious Chinese Instant Pot Bone Broth at the bare minimum you’ll need –

1. One whole chicken with skin-on and bone-in
2. Chinese dry herbal packs (I use an online company based in LA called Root and Spring).
3. Water/liquid

To add extra umami flavor boost, I added other optional items such as carrots, daikon (a Chinese radish), re-hydrated shiitake mushrooms, and the liquid from soaking the mushrooms.

Where to find and how to use Chinese dry herbal packs:

I was so happy when I discover a LA based Hong Kongese Chinese dry herbal store – Root and Spring – that ships very high quality Chinese dry herbs both US domestic and international. The herbs were so fragrant, clean, and in excellent quality. Best of all each packet comes with a beautifully designed card, explaining the benefits of each ingredient and with recipes anyone can follow easily.

They are pre-portioned so all you need to do is to add the chicken, herbal packets, and water (no other seasonings required except seasoning with salt before serving). And that my friend is my type of instant meal – Instant Pot Bone Broth – that couldn’t get any simpler.

I used Health and Immunity packet for my Instant Pot Bone Broth. The packet has –

Astragalus Root (Huang Qi) – Strengthens the inner energy of the body and boosts the immune system and increases energy levels. Astragalus is one of only 13 herbs in the world that’s labeled as scientifically “adaptogenic”, which means that it has the unique capability to reduce the levels of stress hormones in your blood, helping you to “adapt” more easily to difficult environments, such as cold, a stressful work situation, or fatigue.

Codonopsis Root (Dang Shen) – An excellent anti-aging herb that helps combat tiredness, chronic fatigue, stress, adrenal fatigue and digestive problems. Also assists in immune functions, digestive and urinary health, and brain function.

Dried Chinese Yam (Huai Shan) – Long been credited with tons of health benefits because of its effectiveness at tonifying kidney and spleen. This herb enhances energy, aids digestion and absorption, repairs worn-out tissue, and helps alleviate bodily weakness.

Dried Goji Berries (Gou Qi Zi) – Benefits the liver, which manifests in improving eyesight especially if poor eyesight is caused by malnutrition, vessel expansion, inflammation or eye strain from staring at computer screens and documents for long periods of time.

Longan (Longyan) – High nutritional value, full of vitamins and contains active anti-aging ingredients. Helps to promote restful sleep, replenishing blood and Qi.

Red Dates (Hong Zao) – Also known as jujubes, red dates are widely considered as the “living vitamin pill” by the Chinese. It contains Vitamin B, C, E, P, phosphorus, calcium, iron and more. It helps calm the central nervous system, protects the liver, inhibits cell mutation, and improves strength of muscles.

The result is a golden delicious and gorgeous chicken bone broth. It nourishes our body and keep our skin supple. And with Instant Pot, it takes very little hands-on time and 30 mins later you’ll enjoy a pot of out of this world Instant Pot Bone Broth.

So my friends you’ll have no excuse not to make Chinese Instant Pot Bone Broth. It’s –
