Instant Pot Buffalo Chicken Dip is the perfect appetizer for parties, game day, and even on the weeknights! Super easy to make and can be added to tacos, sandwiches, and more!
There’s something about buffalo chicken that just gets me every time. No matter where I’m eating or who’s serving food, if buffalo chicken anything is an option, I’m getting it. Not sure if it’s the cream cheese, the spiciness, or both… but damn! I can’t get enough! This Instant Pot Buffalo Chicken Dip will satisfy your craving, any day of the week!
Dinner time can be hectic. Sometimes you just want some “game day” food, and that’s exactly what this recipe is. We love the buffalo chicken dip because it’s easy to make, and full of flavor. You can make it hotter by adding cayenne or Sriracha, or you can make it not as hot by using less wing sauce. You can dip veggies like celery, or you can go all out and use tortilla chips. If you aren’t counting calories or carbs or points, you can even dip mozzarella sticks. Oh man… now I’m hungry. Onto the recipe.
If you haven’t gotten the Instant Pot yet, or if you are on the fence, here’s the one I use! Also, if you want to see more of my favorite kitchen cookware and gadgets head on over here!!

Ingredients for Instant Pot Buffalo Chicken Dip
- Chicken – we used boneless skinless breast, but since we are going to shred it anyway, you can use what you have
- Chicken broth – Not only does this give the dip flavor, but it also helps to pressurize and keeps from giving you the burn notice
- Cream Cheese – use your favorite, if you are following WW use fat-free. Don’t forget to give it time to soften!
- Sour cream – as a healthier swap you could always use a half and half mixture and add some greek yogurt.
- Wing sauce – Of course we use Frank’s!
- Taco seasoning – use store-bought, or you can make a batch of homemade salt-free taco seasoning that keeps for months and you don’t have to worry about running out!
- Water
- Cheese – our go-to is cheddar cheese, but feel free to switch it up!
