Instant Pot Crack Chicken
Crack Chicken is a total flavor bomb, made with cream cheese, ranch, cheddar, and bacon. It's beyond simple to make since everything just gets tossed in the Instant Pot and guests always ask to take the recipe home.

Notes
- We like to serve this chicken on a bun, but it's also good over mashed potatoes or as a dip for chips or crackers.
- The cream cheese may look funny when you open the Instant Pot, but it will smooth out into a creamy sauce as you whisk it back together.
