This buffalo chicken dip really is a unique combination of spicy flavors with a creamy texture.

I like that while the hot sauce provides a bit of heat to this dip, the cream cheese and dressing calmly balance it out to make for a perfect recipe.

Ingredients needed to make Buffalo Chicken Dip in a Pressure Cooker.

• Chicken. Since the chicken will need to be shredded, using boneless and skinless breast is suggested.
• Hot Sauce. Your choice of sauce. Since this will be used to cook the chicken in, your sauce will be diluted with water.
• Cream Cheese. Use a full-fat cream cheese block that has been cut into chunks.
• Cheddar Cheese. The cheese should be shredded. You can use store bought shredded cheese or shredded from a block. I prefer the sharper cheese for this recipe but, any should do.
• Ranch or Blue Cheese Dressing. Use a full-fat dressing for optimal creaminess.
• Optional Add-Ins. Blue cheese crumbles, chopped green onion, additional cheese (your choice), sliced olives, or even jalapeños.

Tips for making the best buffalo chicken dip.

Shredding the cooked chicken breast is relatively easy to use. I like to place the chicken in a large bowl and use two forks to do the shredding with.

More helpful tips for you.

1. Feel free to amp up the hot sauce if you are a fan of the heat.
2. Not a fan of hot sauce? Use another sauce such as barbecue sauce instead.
3. The cream cheese will melt best and more evenly when it is cut into chunks. I like to cut the cream cheese when it is just out of the refrigerator and still firm.
4. Using full fat ingredients (cheeses etc) is suggested for a creamier dip.
5. Biggest cheat ever for this recipe is to use a store-bought rotisserie chicken to make this dip!
