Notes

To make dairy-free: use dairy-free cream cheese.
To cook in the instant pot: add all of the ingredients except the cream cheese and cook for 12 minutes. Do a quick release, pull the chicken out and shred, add the cream cheese and simmer until the cheese is melted. Add the chicken back to the pot and serve!
