Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 lb chicken breasts
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • 1 cup buffalo sauce
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1/4 cup blue cheese
  • 3 green onions, sliced
  • Celery, carrot sticks & tortilla chips to serve

Instructions

  • Add olive oil, chicken and water to Instant Pot. Place lid on Instant Pot, press the pressure cook button and set to high, then cook for 8 minutes. The Instant Pot will take about 5-10 minutes to come to pressure, then notify you it's done by beeping.
  • Meanwhile, microwave cream cheese for 1 min until softened. Stir in melted butter, buffalo sauce and salt & pepper.
  • Press the Cancel button when Instant Pot is done, then do a quick release of the pressure. Open the lid when pressure gauge has dropped and the lid opens easily. Drain water from Instant Pot, then shred cooked chicken breasts right in the pot.
  • Turn Instant Pot to saute mode. Add buffalo sauce mixture to the shredded chicken, then saute for 4-5 minutes until mixture thickens, stirring often.
  • Remove dip from Instant Pot and add to a large bowl. Top dip with blue cheese and green onions, then serve with carrots, celery and tortilla chips. Enjoy!
