Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce
  • 1 tablespoon ranch dressing mix
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 4 oz shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Instructions

  • Place chicken, broth, sauce and dressing mix in pressure cooker
  • Add cover and set to seal
  • Set to high pressure for 8 minutes
  • Once cooking time has complete, slide valve to quick release the remaining pressure
  • Remove and shred chicken breast
  • Remove one cup of liquid and whisk together with cream cheese until smooth
  • Add this back to slow cooker along with chicken and shredded cheese
  • Stir until smooth and let rest 10 minutes before serving

Notes

  • I recommend chicken breasts and not chicken thighs so that this doesn’t turn greasy
  • Use any brand of buffalo wing sauce you prefer, I love Sweet Baby Rays but there are many brands that also have a no sugar added sauce for anyone avoiding sugar
  • I recommend using a block of cheese and grating it yourself for best results
  • Use full fat cream cheese for best results
  • When pressure cooking you don’t want to add the dairy until after the pressure cooking has completed
  • In order to get the cream cheese to melt smoothly you’ll want to make sure it’s at room temp.  Then add about a cup of hot cooking liquid to the cream cheese and stir until smooth before adding back to pot
  • No need to heat again, the remaining heat from the pot will be hot enough to melt the cheese
To make in the slow cooker: 
  • Add chicken, broth, sauce and seasoning to slow cooker and cook on high for 2-3 hours for low for 4-6
  • Shred chicken and stir in remaking ingredients as instructed in recipe
