The first thing that I did to make this Whole Chicken Dinner, was to prepare the stuffing.  I turned the Instant Pot to Saute Less for 5 minutes and added some margarine, diced onions and diced celery.

Once the onions and celery had softened I added in some chicken broth, sage, poultry seasoning, salt and pepper.

I poured this mixture over a half loaf of gluten free bread that I had broken up while the vegetables were cooking.

 

I stirred to make sure all the bread was moistened.

Next I rinsed the chicken with cold water and patted it dry with some paper towels.

Then I stuffed the cavity with the bread mixture I had prepared.

Next I turned the Instant Pot back on to the Saute function and added more olive oil and some basil.  I put the chicken in to brown.

I flipped the chicken over carefully to brown the other side.

After browning I removed the chicken to a plate.  I  added in some water and almond milk to deglaze the Pot.  Make sure to scrape all the brown bits from the bottom of the Pot.

Once I had deglazed the Pot I added the trivet and returned the chicken to the Pot.

Then I cut up half a dozen potatoes and placed them around the chicken.

Then I placed the lid on the Instant Pot, turned the steam release handle to the sealing position and set the Instant Pot to Pressure Cook High for 27 minutes.

While the chicken was cooking I cut up two heads of broccoli.

Once the Instant Pot was done cooking, I let it do a Natural Release for 10 minutes before turning the steam release handle to the venting position to finish with a Quick Release.

I removed the chicken to a baking sheet and placed it under the broiler to brown for a few minutes.

I transferred the potatoes to a serving dish and covered them.

Then I added some corn starch mixed with water and shredded marble cheese to the liquid in the pot and returned it to the Saute function once again.

Finally, after the sauce began to form and thicken I threw in the cut up broccoli to cook, stirring occasionally.

I removed the chicken from the oven and used a large spoon to take out the stuffing.

Once the broccoli is cooked, slice the chicken and serve your chicken dinner with all the fixings!  

Instant Pot Whole Chicken Dinner is a gourmet meal prepared in one Pot.  To finish off this meal you might prepare packaged gravy on the stove top or in the microwave.
