How to make Instant Pot jalapeno popper chicken dip

First, you cook the chicken in the Instant Pot. I like to throw in some diced jalapeno peppers — fresh ones for extra flavor.

After the chicken is done, you shred it with an electric mixer. Then, you mix in cream cheese and sour cream.

This jalapeno popper dip recipe is made with sour cream and without mayo. Nothing against mayo, but I think the sour cream gives it a tangier flavor.

Add some cheese, more jalapeno peppers, and bake! Oh, and bacon — It’s not truly essential, but if you can, add it!

Because jalapeno popper dip with bacon is so. dang. delicious!

It’s all about the cheese, so dig right in! So good!
