Equipment

  • Mino Ware Japanese Pottery Set
  • Rice Bowls
  • Instant Pot Duo Nova

Ingredients
  

  • 2 Chicken Breasts
  • 1 Cup Hot Buffalo Sauce
  • ½ Cup Water
  • ½ Cup Cream Cheese
  • 1 Cup Cheddar Cheese Shredded
  • ½ Cup Ranch Dressing
  • 2 Tablespoons Crumbled Blue Cheese OPTIONAL
  • 2 Tablespoons Chopped Green Onion OPTIONAL

Instructions
 

  • Once you have your ingredients ready, here's the step-by-step process you'll need to follow to make this fantastic dip.
  • Turn on the Instant Pot and select the Sauté button.
  • Place frozen chicken breast in the pot, add hot sauce and water, and give it a mix.
  • Cancel the sauté button. Select the PRESSURE COOK button on HIGH PRESSURE for 15 minutes. (Make sure the valve is in the SEALING position).
  • Once the pressure-cooking cycle is over, allow pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes, then quick release pressure by manually moving the valve from the SEALING to the VENTING position.
  • Select the CANCEL button and take the lid off carefully. Remove chicken pieces, shred and set aside.
  • Select the sauté button, and add cream cheese, shredded cheddar, and ranch dressing.
  • Return the shredded chicken back to the pot and stir to mix well; let the mixture simmer for a few minutes (until the cream cheese melts completely)
  • Top it with crumbled blue cheese and chopped or sliced green onions, and serve with crackers, tortilla chips, or veggie sticks. You can also top this with an extra layer of buffalo sauce and ranch dressing if you want to enjoy extra flavor.

Notes

If your Buffalo chicken dip seems too thick for your liking, and you want to loosen it up, you can add a bit of milk or some chicken broth. This will add a ton of extra flavor
While you can always use low fat cream cheese for this recipe, I would highly recommend using full fat cream cheese instead, since it lends this buffalo chicken dip a ridiculously creamy texture.
The blue cheese isn't a must for the recipe, but if you have it at hand, getting some of that over it wouldn't hurt. Top the baking dish with some blue cheese crumbles towards the end for some more deliciousness.
If you don't have the time to cook chicken breasts, you can also just use rotisserie shredded chicken.
