Crack Chicken Instant Pot Recipe

Posted in Home By adminPosted on

Crack Chicken” is a popular and delicious dish made with chicken, cream cheese, bacon, and various seasonings. It’s often cooked in an Instant Pot for a quick and easy preparation. Here’s a recipe for making Crack Chicken in your Instant Pot:

Ingredients:

  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 packet (about 1 ounce) ranch seasoning mix
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup cooked and crumbled bacon (about 6-8 slices)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives (optional for garnish)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. Start by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and half of the ranch seasoning mix. Use your Instant Pot’s sauté function and a bit of oil to brown the chicken on each side for about 2-3 minutes per side. This step adds flavor to the chicken and helps to seal in the juices.
  2. Once the chicken is browned, remove it from the Instant Pot and set it aside.
  3. Add the chicken broth to the Instant Pot and use it to deglaze the bottom of the pot. This will help prevent the “Burn” notice and ensure the chicken cooks evenly.
  4. Place the browned chicken back into the Instant Pot. Sprinkle the remaining half of the ranch seasoning mix over the chicken.
  5. Cut the cream cheese into cubes and place them on top of the chicken.
  6. Close the Instant Pot lid, set it to sealing, and select the “Pressure Cook” function (or “Manual,” depending on your Instant Pot model). Cook the chicken for 15 minutes at high pressure.
  7. Once the cooking time is complete, perform a quick pressure release.
  8. Open the Instant Pot and use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the pot. The chicken should be very tender and easy to shred.
  9. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon. Mix everything until the cheese is melted and the ingredients are well combined.
  10. Serve your Crack Chicken in sandwiches, wraps, on top of salads, or as a dip. Garnish with chopped chives if desired.

Enjoy your delicious Crack Chicken made in the Instant Pot!
