Equipment

Ingredients

1 ½ pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 teaspoon sea salt
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup celery chopped
8 ounces cream cheese
1 cup ranch dressing
½ cup Frank's Original Red Hot Sauce
4 ounces extra sharp cheddar cheese shredded

Instructions

Add chicken breasts to Instant Pot with enough water to cover the chicken. Add salt to the water. Put the lid on the Instant Pot and make sure the steam release handle in the back is set to the Sealing Position. Select Meat cook option and let the Instant Pot do its thing!
After the timer has gone off, you can release the pressure one of two ways. Natural release = do nothing until the metal float valve next to the steam release handle lowers. This method can take a while, possibly 30 minutes or more. The other option is Quick Release. With a towel or hand mitt, move the steam release handle to Venting. The steam will escape through this handle and the metal float valve should drop in a minute or two. After the metal float valve has dropped, you can then open the Instant Pot.
Remove chicken and shred the meat.
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Clean metal inner pot and place back into the Instant Pot. Turn on the Saute function. Add butter and heat about 1 minute. Add celery and saute until just soft, about 2-3 minutes.
Add shredded chicken, cream cheese, ranch dressing and hot sauce. Mix until blended and heated through.
Remove dip and add to a 8”x8” baking dish. Top with shredded cheddar cheese. Bake in oven for 15-20 minutes, until cheese has melted and is bubbly.
Serve with tortilla chips, celery sticks and carrot sticks. Toasted baguettes slices work great too!

Notes

Use chicken broth instead of water to cook the chicken in for extra flavor!
