  • When the pot is hot, add the diced bacon and cook until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the Instant Pot and set aside.
  • Sear the chicken breasts 3-4 Minutes per side, until golden brown. Transfer to a plate and set aside. Sear chicken in batches if needed so you do not overcrowd the pot.

  • On the Instant Pot press Cancel to stop sautéing.
  • Pour in the chicken broth and stir well, scrapping along the bottom of the pot. Add in cream cheese mixture and seared chicken breasts.

  • Remove lid and scoop out the chicken and shred.
  • Stir the shredded chicken back into the Inner Pot and sprinkle the rest of the cheddar cheese on top; place the lid back on the Instant Pot (powered off) and let stand for 5 minutes to thicken the sauce and melt the cheese.
  • Top with previously prepared bacon and fresh chives or scallions. Serve and enjoy!
