If you sign have an instant pot or electric pressure cooker you can make this on the stove in a large pot or pan. Cook the chicken for roughly 30mins. Pop the vegetables in about 10 mins before so they don't over cook. If you add in veggies like bok choy you will not need to cook it too long compaired to carrot.
