Loaded with three kinds of cheese and a spicy sauce, this creamy Buffalo chicken dip packs a big punch. Make it even faster by whipping it up in an Instant Pot pressure cooker. Here’s how.
Instant Pot Buffalo Chicken Dip Ingredients
- Boneless skinless chicken breasts
- Buffalo wing sauce
- Unsalted butter
- Cream cheese
- Ranch salad dressing
- Sour cream
- Shredded cheddar cheese
- Crumbled blue cheese
- Green onion
- Tortilla chips, celery sticks and/or toasted bread rounds
Directions
Step 1: Cook the chicken
Place chicken in a 6-quart Instant Pot and cover with Buffalo wing sauce and butter. Lock the lid and close the pressure-release valve. Set to pressure-cook on high for eight minutes. The pot will take a few minutes to pressurize before it begins cooking.
Once the timer is done, carefully quick-release the pressure. The chicken is ready when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Editor’s Tip: Want to turn up the heat? Substitute some or all of the Buffalo wing sauce with something spicier, like our favorite hot sauce brands.
Step 2: Mix it all together
Take the chicken out of the pressure cooker and shred it using either two forks or a hand mixer. Return the shredded chicken to the pressure cooker and stir in cream cheese, ranch dressing, sour cream and 1 cup of the cheddar cheese. Allow it to sit a moment so the cheeses can melt.
Editor’s Tip: For a thicker dip, transfer to an oven-safe dish, bake in a preheated oven at 400° until bubbling, about 8 to 10 minutes.
Step 3: Serve and enjoy!
Place dip in a serving bowl. Top the dip with the remaining cheddar cheese, blue cheese and green onions. Serve hot with tortilla chips, your choice of veggies and/or toasted bread rounds.
How do you store Instant Pot Buffalo chicken dip?
Store the Buffalo chicken dip in an airtight container for up to five days in the fridge. If you want to save it for a longer period of time, place it in the freezer. When ready to eat, reheat in the oven or microwave.
How long can Buffalo chicken dip sit out?
Because it contains dairy and meat, Buffalo chicken dip shouldn’t sit out for more than two hours. If you’re having a really big party, make an extra batch in advance and store it in the fridge, then heat it up when you need it.
