I prefer to make this recipe with chicken breast, but thighs will work too. Cook them in the Instant Pot for 15 minutes rather than 12 before shredding so that they are fully cooked through.
This Instant Pot buffalo chicken dip is best served warm so that the cheese is melted and dip-able. You can cook and shred the chicken breasts ahead of time and make the dip up to the point of it being baked in the oven. Cover it and keep in the fridge for up to a day before you are ready to bake it.
I love to use Frank’s Red Hot Sauce for this buffalo recipe, but all of your favorite hot sauces will work well.
If you do have leftovers, they will keep well for 3 days, covered in the fridge. You can reheat it in the oven at 360F for 10 to 15 minutes til warmed through. Take care to only reheat it once.
