Buffalo Chicken Dip Ingredients
- 2 cups shredded cooked rotisserie chicken
- 1/2 cup Frank’s RedHot Original Sauce
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 cup water
- 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 ½ cups shredded Colby Jack cheese, divided
Instructions
- Prepare the Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, Frank’s RedHot Original Sauce, sour cream, and garlic powder. Mix thoroughly until well blended. Then, fold in the shredded rotisserie chicken along with half a cup of the shredded Colby Jack cheese.
- Assemble in Baking Dish: Spoon the combined mixture into an Instant Pot-safe baking dish, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the remaining Colby Jack cheese on top and cover the dish tightly with foil.
- Set Up Instant Pot: Place the trivet inside the Instant Pot and add 1/4 cup of water to the bottom of the pot to create steam for pressure cooking. Carefully set the covered baking dish on top of the trivet.
- Pressure Cook the Dip: Seal the Instant Pot lid and set it to cook on manual high pressure for 7 minutes to thoroughly heat and meld the flavors.
- Release Pressure: Allow the pressure to release naturally for a smooth finish and to keep the dip creamy.
- Serve Warm: Remove the baking dish carefully, uncover, and serve the dip hot alongside your favorite dippers such as tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh vegetables.
Notes
- Use room temperature cream cheese to ensure smooth mixing.
- Substitute rotisserie chicken with cooked shredded chicken breasts if preferred.
- Adjust the amount of hot sauce to control spiciness.
- Serve immediately for the best texture; reheat gently if needed.
- Can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the Instant Pot or microwave.
