Instant Pot Bacon Ranch Chicken

This recipe is so easy and so tasty! I love it! These are the types of recipes that got me into cooking in my crockpot and Instant Pot in the first place. Dump and go and minimal effort. Woo hoo! A win!

• I like to use Hidden Valley dry ranch dressing mix. I buy it in a big container at Costco. Other recipes you can use it in are chicken bacon ranch pasta, ranch chicken taco rice and mashed ranch cauliflower.
• I love using Olive Garden Parmesan Ranch Dressing. It tastes so good! Use your favorite ranch dressing.
• I used frozen boneless, skinless chicken breasts straight from the freezer. You can also use boneless, skinless chicken thighs if you prefer. A combination of the two would be amazing!
• This can be a low carb/keto recipe. Serve the chicken plain or rolled up in lettuce wraps.
• I served the leftovers with Franks Hot Sauce stirred into the chicken mixture…it made it into buffalo chicken and it was soooo good!
• I used my 6 quart Instant Pot Duo 60 7 in 1*. You can also make this in a 3 or 8 quart pot.

Another variation is stirring in a quarter cup of Frank's Hot Sauce. It gives the chicken a buffalo chicken flare. So good!

I like Olive Garden Parmesan Ranch Dressing.
