Ingredients

  • 1 lb Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast
  • 1 Tbsp 16g Olive Oil
  • 1 large 350g Yellow Onion, diced
  • 5 cloves 30g Garlic, minced
  • 2 Tbsp Ranch Seasoning
  • 1/2 C 120g Buffalo Sauce
  • 4 oz Chicken Broth
  • 8 oz Fat Free or Reduced Fat Cream Cheese room temp
  • 3/4 C 84g Shredded Cheddar

Instructions

  • Use the Instant Pot's sauté function to cook the onion and garlic in the olive oil for 8-10 minutes until soft.
  • Turn off the heat and add the buffalo sauce, chicken broth, and ranch seasoning. Stir everything together before adding the chicken breast.
  • Seal and cook with high pressure for 12 minutes with quick release or until the chicken reaches 165ºF. 
  • Transfer the cooked chicken to a bowl to shred and add the cream cheese to the buffalo sauce mixture. Once the cream cheese is fully incorporated, add the shredded chicken back and stir together.
  • Top with the shredded cheddar and use the broil function* for 8-10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve with fresh green onion and your choice of chips.

Notes

*I used the Instant Pot Air Fryer and Pressure Cooker combo. The Ninja Foodi has a broil function as well. If you don't have either, you could cover and wait for the cheddar to melt or use your oven's broiler.

For Buffalo Chicken Dip in the Crockpot

You can either a) sauté the onion and garlic in a separate pan before adding to a crockpot with everything else except the cream cheese and cheddar; or b) add everything except the cream cheese and cheddar to a crockpot together.
Cook on high for 1.5-2.5 hours until the chicken reaches 165ºF before shredding and adding the cream cheese.
