Instant Pot

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup chicken broth or water
  • 1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breast
  • 8 ounces cream cheese cut into cubes
  • 1 packet keto Ranch seasoning
  • 1 ¼ cups cheddar cheese shredded, divided
  • 6 slices cooked bacon crumbled, divided
  • 2 green onions chopped

Instructions
 

  • Pour the broth into the Instant Pot. Place the chicken in an even layer in the pot, then top with the cubes of cream cheese. Sprinkle the ranch seasoning over the top.
  • Secure and seal the lid, then cook on Manual High for 10 minutes. When the cook time is up, allow a 5 minute natural release, then quick-release the remaining pressure. Press Cancel.
  • Remove the chicken to a bowl and shred it.
  • Press Saute. Add 1 cup of the cheddar cheese to the pot and whisk the mixture thoroughly to melt and break up any remaining cream cheese.

  • Transfer the finished chicken to a serving dish, top with remaining cheese, bacon, and green onions, and serve.
