Notes

Do you not fill up your pressure cooker past the fill line. Your veggies and chicken should be covered or almost covered. It's ok if they're sticking out a bit, everything will cook down.
You don't necessarily need the meat on the chicken to make bone broth. If using a rotisserie chicken, remove all the meat and save it to use in other recipes.
Feel free to vary the seasonings and vegetables if you prefer but remember to avoid cabbage, Brussels, broccoli, and cauliflower because they will make a smelly broth.
