Instructions
  1. Add the chicken broth, chicken, cream cheese and ranch seasoning to the Instant Pot.

  2. Place the lid on the Instant Pot and lock it. Make sure the lever is set to seal. Press the manual button and set the time for 15 minutes.

  3. Once the timer goes off let it naturally release for 5 minutes, then finish with a quick release.

  4. Remove the chicken from the Instant Pot and shred it, then add it back to the pot.
