To make the chicken broth, you will need leftover chicken bones, a handful of vegetables, spices, and water. I used leftover rotisserie chicken for this tutorial, but you can also use up the bones from homemade chicken.

Update on freezing instant pot chicken broth
(updated 12/2018)
After having too many cracked jars, I am sad to say I no longer use this method.
Instead, I pour the cooled instant pot chicken broth into freezer safe zip-top bags.
I get as much air out as possible and seal them.
I freeze them flat so they take up less space and defrost quickly.
