Why This Recipe Works

• The subtle kick of hot sauce and buffalo seasoning adds depth without overpowering the dish, ensuring a balanced flavor profile.

Key Ingredients

As with any recipe, using quality ingredients is crucial to achieving the best possible results. For our Creamy Instant Pot Buffalo Chicken Dip, we recommend using fresh and low-sodium chicken for maximum tenderness. Don’t be afraid to get creative – a blend of mozzarella, cheddar, and parmesan will add a rich and satisfying depth to your dip.

Prep:
15 min

Cook:
25 min

Yield:
4 Servings

Ingredients

1 lb Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breast, Cut into Small Pieces

1/2 Cup Buffalo Sauce (Frank’s RedHot)

1/2 Cup Cream Cheese, Softened

1 Cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese

1/2 Cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese

1/4 Cup Chopped Green Onions, for Garnish

1 Tablespoon Blue Cheese Crumbles (Optional)

Tortilla Chips or Crackers, for Serving

Directions

1

Press the ‘Saute’ button on your Instant Pot and cook the chicken until it’s lightly browned, about 4 minutes per side.

2

Add buffalo sauce and stir to coat the chicken evenly. Place the lid on the Instant Pot, ensuring it’s set to ‘Sealing’. Cook on ‘Manual’ mode for 10 minutes at high pressure.

3

Quick release the pressure when the 10 minutes have elapsed. Remove the chicken from the pot and shred it using two forks or a stand mixer with the paddle attachment.

4

In a separate bowl, mix the softened cream cheese and shredded mozzarella. Stir until smooth and well-combined.

5

Combine the shredded chicken back into the Instant Pot with the cream cheese mixture. Stir to combine and serve hot with tortilla chips or crackers. Garnish with green onions and blue cheese crumbles, if desired.

Storage & Reheating

Leftover dip can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When reheating, transfer the dip to the Instant Pot and cook on ‘Saute’ mode until the cheese has melted and the dip reaches the desired temperature. You can also heat it in the microwave for 20-second increments, stirring each time until hot and smooth.
