Buffalo Chicken Dip

Hey Hey! I am so excited to share this recipe with you! I got an instant pot for Christmas this year, yes I opened it early because I JUST COULD NOT WAIT! After the first use, I have been IN LOVE!! Like I am not kidding it might earn a spot on the counter I am getting it out that often. Especially with our busy schedule, it is just the thing to make a fast easy dinner! 

I wanted to make a Buffalo Chicken Dip but every recipe I found used Ranch packets or an entire bottle of ranch. I wanted something that would fit my meal plan and keep me on track so I just knew that would not be a match for me, that is when I developed this recipe. I am telling you in 15 min I had the most amazing buffalo dip ever! Yes, people, 15 minutes cook time! 

If you do not have a pressure cooker you could always do this in a crock pot or in the oven with shredded chicken instead of putting it in raw. 

Hands on time- 7 min Cook time 15 min  Serves 8-10
