   Collect the rotisserie chicken, half onion, half carrot, garlic cloves, oil, and water. Measure out two quarts of water.

3. Shred Chicken

   Remove all meat from the rotisserie chicken, discarding bones and skin (or keep a few skin pieces for extra fat). Shred the meat into bite‑size pieces.

   Time: PT5M

4. Sweat Vegetables

   Set the pressure cooker to the “Sauté” mode, add 1 tbsp oil, and heat for 1 minute. Add the sliced carrot, onion, and smashed garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until they turn lightly golden and fragrant, about 3‑4 minutes.

   Time: PT5M

5. Add Chicken and Water

   Add the shredded chicken to the pot, then pour in the two quarts of cold water. Stir to combine.

   Time: PT2M

6. Pressure Cook

   Seal the lid, ensure the vent is closed, and set the cooker to high pressure for 40 minutes.

   Time: PT40M

   Temperature: 250°F

7. Release Pressure

   Allow the cooker to naturally release pressure for 10 minutes, then carefully perform a quick release for any remaining pressure.

   Time: PT10M

8. Strain Stock

   Open the lid, remove the lid, and ladle the liquid through a fine‑mesh strainer into a clean bowl or container. Discard solids.

   Time: PT5M

9. Optional Consomme Clarification

   If a crystal‑clear consomme is desired, blend 1 cup of the hot stock with ½ cup raw chicken meat in a blender, whip in a handful of air for 30 seconds, return to the pressure cooker, cook on high pressure for 5 minutes, then let cool in the fridge and slowly thaw in a strainer. Collect the clear liquid.
