Ingredients

  • 6 large carrots, peeled and cut into 11⁄2-inch chunks
  • 2 large onions, halved and thinly sliced
  • 4 long strips lemon zest
  • 4 sprigs fresh dill + 2 tablespoons chopped
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt + additional for seasoning
  • 4 bone-in chicken breast halves, skin removed (2½ to 3 pounds)
  • 2 cups chicken broth

Directions

1

Put the carrots, onions, lemon zest, dill sprigs, and olive oil in a 7-liter pressure cooker.

2

Season the vegetables with the ½ teaspoon salt and the chicken with salt, to taste.

3

Pour the broth in the pot, then nestle the chicken meat side down on top of the vegetables.

4

Close the pressure cooker lid, bring the pressure up to high (this can take up to 10 minutes).

5

Adjust the heat, if necessary, to maintain an even high pressure for 10 minutes.

6

Remove from the heat and use the quick-release method to bring down the pressure.

7

Stir the chopped dill into the chicken stew.

8

Put 1 chicken breast in each of 4 large soup bowls and ladle some carrots and broth over each one.
