Instructions

  1. Select "SAUTE" and add diced, raw bacon to the Instant Pot. Cook until desired crispness! Remove when cooked and place on a paper towel lined plate.
  2. Season chicken thighs with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Add oil to pressure cooker and add seasoned chicken thighs to the hot oil. Brown for 2 minutes each side.
  4. While chicken is cooking, combine cream cheese with ranch seasoning.
  5. Hit cancel when chicken is done browning. Add broth to Instant Pot and scrape the browned bits off the bottom of the pot (this will prevent the burn notice from appearing).
  6. Top chicken with cream cheese and ranch mixture. Secure lid and turn to High Pressure for 12 minutes.
  7. When cook time ends, do a quick release. Remove chicken and shred. Stir shredded chicken back into the sauce and allow to thicken on it's own for several minutes. 
  8. To serve, add cooked bacon, green onions, and parsley. ENJOY!

Notes

  • Recipe tested in 6 quart Instant Pot.
  • Use rotisserie chicken or homemade shredded chicken and skip step 1-2.
  • No matter the cooking method, in the instant pot, slow cooker, or skillet, allow chicken mixture to cool completely. Store in an airtight ziploc freezer bag and freeze for up to 3 months.
  • I prefer the boneless skinless thighs for this recipe instead of breasts. No need to change the time either!
