Recipe Tips

For a creamier sauce, you can add an additional 1/2 cup of ranch dressing. If you prefer a spicier sauce, you can add 1-2 teaspoons of your favorite hot sauce to the sauce. You can also add any other seasonings you like to the sauce, such as Italian seasoning, dried oregano, or paprika.

This recipe can easily be doubled to serve a larger crowd. If you’re using a larger Instant Pot, you can cook the chicken in 2 batches. Simply double the ingredients and cook the chicken in 2 batches.

For a vegetarian option, you can substitute the chicken with cubed tofu. Simply add the tofu to the pot with the onion, garlic, and broth and cook for 5 minutes on Manual/Pressure Cook.
