Instant Pot Bacon Ranch Chicken
This year for Christmas my husband got me an Instant Pot Cooker and I love it!
It’s like a pressure cooker and more. It does everything including hook up to my phone. I decided to make my first meal in it and it was a total winner. I adapted it from this recipe for Instant Pot Crack Chicken.
I started with chicken, cream cheese, ranch and water. Then I sealed it and placed my IP on manual high pressure for 25 minutes. I then did a quick release and shredded the chicken (leave the liquid in the pot).
I whisked in some cornstarch then added the shredded chicken, cheese and bacon.
I served some up on Hawaiian rolls for my hubby.
I had mine on gluten free bread.
It was also great as a dip! So. Good.
Instant Pot Bacon Ranch Chicken
Cook time:
Total time:
Ingredients
- 6-8 slices cooked bacon
- 2 pounds boneless chicken breast
- 1 packet ranch seasoning
- 8oz cream cheese
- 1 cup water
- 3 tbs corn starch
- 4oz cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Place chicken and cream cheese in the IP. Sprinkle the packet of ranch seasoning over the top and add one cup water.
- Place your IP on Manual high pressure for 25 minutes.
- Do a quick release.
- Remove chicken only and shred. Keep your IP on low.
- Mix in cornstarch with a whisk.
- Add cheese and shredded chicken to the mixture.
- Stir in bacon.
- Enjoy!
What’s your favorite thing to cook in your IP?
Isn’t 25 minutes way too much? Most people seem to do chicken breasts in 8-12 minutes on high manual or poultry.
The first time I did two boneless chicken breasts (just chicken + 1 cup of broth + spices) for 15 minutes + 5 min NPR, they came out way overdone (like 205 degrees). The second time I dropped the time to 13 minutes + 5 NPR and they were still about 200 degrees. Would using the cream cheese prevent overcooking the chicken in this recipe?
It was perfect for ours. My husband has even had me make it again.
I would love to get an Instant Pot. I am sure my husband would enjoy this recipe!
My daughter in law wants an instapot so I’ve started looking into them, and I think your recipe may have just sold me! I think I’ll get her one for her b-day and tuck a few recipes in for her,so this will obviously be in there! I’d love for you to share it with us also over at our Fathers Day Favorites themed link up at the newly named Celebrate 365 Blog Party (formerly Country Fair Blog Party) where you linked up with us for National Hamburger Day. We’d love for you to join us again, if you have time and a few posts to share!

That looks amazing! It looks easy too, and since I am not a good cook, this is a great recipe for me. I have a pressure cooker but rarely use it. The instant pots look really neat.
so easy ! looks delicious also. I am seriously going to buy this instant pot cooker! feeding 4 kids is a lot of work so anything that can help me make a meal faster is for me! 🙂
I hadn’t heard of Instant Pot, it must be fairly recent. I thought I had stepped up in the world by getting an electric pressure cooker! This Bacon Ranch Chicken dish looks amazing & delicious! I’m going to have to look for this Instant Pot thing & try this chicken recipe out. Thanks for the review & recipe!
This looks so good. I guess instant pot is going on my wish list.

That recipe looks delicious! I guess I need an Instant Pot now.
I just ordered a pressure cooker so saved this recipe- it looks yummy!
I just purchased an instant pot and waiting for it to be delivered. I have been gathered recipes because I can not wait to use it. This recipe sounds fantastic and I know will be one of the first I try.
I have been seriously thinking about getting an instant cooker and this makes me think it would be a good idea.
This really looks delicious. I would love to give this a try. Thank you for sharing.
I would love to have a Instant Pot Cooker! This looks like a terrific recipe that my husband would enjoy.
Everyone I know is raving about these instant pots – they look so versatile!
I love mine!
wow, i haven’t used one before, but it looks great.
This sounds amazing. I love how creamy and comforting it looks. A perfect winter meal. I have a pressure cooker and I bet it would be fun to use and it would allow for a better taste throughout.
Oh my goodness does this chicken look yummy! Me and my oldest daughter could just eat chicken and be happy! I’ve made alot of chicken recipes but I’ve never put it with cream cheese. I have to make this but I don’t have an insta pot unfortunately. Could I just use my slow cooker instead? Definitely going to look more into the insta pot, fast meals would be a definite bonus for my family!
I’m sure you could use your crockpot, but I’m not sure how to convert it to crockpot directions.
Looks and sounds yummy! I want one of those cookers!
Looking good love to try this
Love all the things you can make with the instant pot the recipes look yummy
Wow that looks delicious! I have been seeing Insta Pots everywhere and now I really want one!
