Whole Chicken Instant Pot Dinner (AKA 30 minute chicken)

This meal was such a hit that it's having a reprise the next day as a gift for some friends in crisis. Substitute other root vegetables for potatoes for complete AIP compliance. I've heard you can also throw rice into the pot.

1 Whole Chicken, rinsed
3 Large Carrots, coarsely chopped
8 small red potatoes (or beets, or parsnips, or other root vegetable)
1 onion, chopped in half
2 sprigs rosemary
10 sprigs thyme
10 cloves roasted garlic (or raw garlic, diced/pressed?)
1 cup white wine (I used sauvignon blanc. I don't know white wine to know if that is best)
1.5 cups water (let's make this easy. but it could be chicken/bone broth if you have it)
Salt (you can add more to taste when it's done)

Throw the whole shebang into the Instant Pot for 25 minutes. When done, take off the skin, carve the chicken, and serve over the veggies and broth. You can freeze the carcass for bone broth later (or make it right away like I did! since it only takes 2 hours in the instant pot!)
