Instant Pot Buffalo Chicken Sliders Recipe
Description
This recipe uses an Instant Pot to pressure cook chicken breasts combined with buffalo sauce and a packet of ranch dressing mix. After cooking on high pressure for 25 minutes and performing a quick pressure release, the chicken is shredded to absorb and hold the sauce. The sliders are assembled by placing the buffalo chicken on small buns, topped with ranch dressing for creaminess and balance against the heat.
The Instant Pot method ensures the chicken becomes tender and flavorful quickly without drying out. The pairing of spicy buffalo sauce with cool ranch creates a classic taste profile in a convenient sandwich format. These sliders are ideal for game days, casual meals, or quick dinners.
Leftover sliders can be refrigerated in airtight containers for up to a week. The recipe notes that adding cream cheese can create a creamier texture. Frozen chicken breasts can be used but require additional cooking time for proper tenderness.
Ingredients
- 3 chicken breast boneless, skinless
- 1 oz Ranch dressing mix
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing
- 1 cup buffalo sauce
- 12 slider buns
Instructions
- Place the chicken breasts, buffalo sauce and ranch seasoning mix in the instant pot. Stir to combine all the ingredients.
- Place the lid on and set the valve to the seal position on the lid.
- Cook on high pressure for 25 minutes.
- After the cook time, do a quick release on the pressure by moving the valve on the lid from the seal to the vent position.
- Shred the chicken with 2 forks.
- Place the chicken on the slider buns, top with the ranch dressing and enjoy!
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container refrigerated for 5 to 7 days for best freshness.
- Adding cream cheese to the mixture will contribute a cheesy flavor and creamier texture if preferred.
- Use fresh or frozen chicken breasts; increase cooking time by 5 minutes if using frozen to ensure doneness.
