Ingredients for Crack Chicken
Here are the simple ingredients you need to make this delicious recipe
How to make Crack Chicken in Instant Pot
It’s super simple!
Step 1: Pressure cook
Add broth, chicken, and Italian seasoning in the instant pot and pressure cook on high pressure for 8 minutes. This will make this chicken super soft and shreddable.
Step 2: Shred & Saute
Remove the chicken from the pot and shred it using two forks. Another easy way to do this is in the stand mixer or hand mixer. Press cancel and then press the saute button. Put the chicken back in the pot with the cheese, spring onions, ranch seasoning, hot sauce, and cream cheese. Use a sturdy spatula or a long ladle to give it a good mix. Add the bacon, reserving a tablespoon of it for garnish. Reduce the liquid until the consistency is slightly wetter than you prefer. Crack chicken tends to thicken considerably as it cools.
To make the Crack Chicken on stove top
