Instructions

Step 1

Place chicken in the Instant Pot and add chicken broth, jalapeno juice, pickled jalapenos, sliced jalapeno, Ranch seasoning, and pepper.

Step 2

Place lid on and set to Pressure Cook or "Manual" for 15 minutes.

Step 3

Do a quick pressure release. Pour all the liquid into a large glass measuring cup. Pour 1 cup back into the Instant Pot. (Save the rest in case you need to thin the sauce some.)

Step 4

Add the cream cheese and cheddar cheese. Set the lid back on and let it sit for 5 minutes to melt the cheese. Stir well.

Step 5

Shred the chicken. You can either shred it in the pot or remove it to a bowl or cutting board.

Step 6

Stir in bacon and green onions.
