How to Make Instant Pot Buffalo Chicken Dip

Buffalo chicken dip is one of the easiest Instant Pot recipes you can make. You start it the same way you would for Instant Pot Buffalo Chicken. Just add the chicken to the pressure cooker, and top with Buffalo sauce or hot wing sauce, like Franks, butter and a little bit of water.

Then, it all changes into a delicious hot dip! After the chicken cooks, add some cream cheese and ranch dressing, and shred the mixture with a hand mixer. Super easy!

You can eat this Instant Pot Buffalo chicken dip just like this. Or, you can take it up a notch and make it super cheesy.

Just transfer the dip to an oven-safe dish, throw some shredded cheese on top, and bake until the cheese is melted.
