Notes
- Dressing Substitution: If you're not a fan of blue cheese dressing, ranch dressing can be used in its place.
- Chicken: This easy Instant Pot Buffalo Chicken recipe can be used to make cooked, shredded chicken to use in this recipe. You can also purchase a rotisserie chicken from the store and shred the meat off the bone for use in this recipe.
- Vegetarian: To make this recipe vegetarian, omit the chicken and use a vegetarian parmesan style cheese. Veggies, such as diced zucchini, cauliflower or broccoli florets, can be added in place of the chicken, if desired.
