Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups shredded cooked rotisserie chicken
- 1/2 cup Frank’s RedHot Original Sauce
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 cup water
- 8 ounce cream cheese, room temperature
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 ½ cups shredded Colby Jack cheese, divided
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, mix together the cream cheese, Frank’s RedHot Original Sauce, sour cream, and garlic powder until well blended. Then stir in the shredded cooked chicken and ½ cup of the shredded Colby Jack cheese.
- Layer in Dish: Spoon the buffalo chicken mixture into an Instant Pot-safe baking dish, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of Colby Jack cheese evenly over the top. Cover the dish tightly with foil.
- Prepare Instant Pot: Place the metal trivet inside the Instant Pot and pour in 1/4 cup water to create steam for pressure cooking.
- Pressure Cook: Set the covered dish on the trivet inside the Instant Pot. Seal the Instant Pot lid securely and set to manual high pressure for 7 minutes to heat through and melt the cheese.
- Natural Release: When cooking time finishes, allow the Instant Pot to release pressure naturally for about 10 minutes before carefully removing the lid to avoid splatter.
- Serve Hot: Carefully remove the baking dish from the Instant Pot, uncover, and serve the dip hot with tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh vegetables for dipping.
Notes
- Use room temperature cream cheese to ensure easy mixing and a smooth dip texture.
- Rotisserie chicken saves time, but you can substitute with any cooked shredded chicken.
- Adjust the amount of hot sauce if you prefer milder or spicier dip.
- Ensure the dish used fits inside your Instant Pot and is suitable for pressure cooking.
- Natural pressure release helps prevent splatter and achieves ideal dip consistency.
