Ingredients

  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • ½ cup Frank's RedHot Hot Sauce
  • ½ cup ranch dressing
  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ¼ cup crumbled blue cheese optional
  • ¼ cup sliced green onion optional

Instructions

  • Place 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts in the pot of the Instant Pot. Pour over ½ cup Frank's RedHot Hot Sauce and ½ cup ranch dressing.
  • Close the lid and set the Instant Pot valve to seal. Set to manual high pressure for 15 minutes.
  • When the cooking time is up, quick-release the pressure.
  • Remove the chicken to a plate, and using two forks, shred the chicken.
  • Add in 8 ounces cream cheese and 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese to the Instant Pot. Whisk until the cheese is all melted and the mixture is smooth.
  • Add back in the shredded chicken and stir well to combine.
  • Transfer to a serving dish or set the Instant Pot to the warm setting to keep warm during serving.
  • Top with ¼ cup crumbled blue cheese and ¼ cup sliced green onion, if desired.
  • Serve with crackers, celery, tortilla chips, carrots, or French bread slices.

Notes

  • This recipe can be easily doubled in a 6-quart or larger Instant Pot. Just increase the cooking time to 20 minutes.
  • We've tested this recipe multiple times without getting the “burn” warning, but electric pressure cookers may vary. If you are getting a burn warning, try adding ¼ cup of water to the pot before cooking. The final dip will be slightly more runny but still delicious!
  • If you prefer, you can also mix the blue cheese into the dip at the end when you add in the chicken. We prefer to keep it on top—that way, if someone isn’t a fan, they can dip around it!
