This Instant Pot Crack Chicken Recipe is one of those recipes I have been hearing about forever! When a family member said she was making it I was so excited to try it, and I had to share it cause it was sooo good! Now thankfully I had done a bunch of running cause while this is keto-friendly this was not WW friendly. (I have included affiliate links to products I love.

Now, this is an amazing dinner, plus I loved that it will make for the perfect leftovers! There are so many ways to serve up this chicken and it makes quite a bit. We took some home and had the chicken in wraps for lunch.

Now we made this in an 8 Quart Instant Pot but it would easily also fit in a 6 Quart Instant Pot as well without a problem. I love how fast the Instant Pot cooks your dinner! We have some crazy nights with the kids in the house so the speed is a factor some nights for getting dinner on the table.

Turn your Instant pot into saute to allow it to start to warm up to start cooking your bacon and also warm it up for getting the Instant Pot to pressure.
Cut up and start to cook up your bacon, now it cooked slowly with the whole pound in there so we ended up splitting it up to cook faster.
Once your bacon is done remove the bacon from the pot and place it into a bowl.
Brown your chicken breasts, we did do this in the bacon grease. We did four breasts removed them then browned the one.
When your breasts are done remove them from the Instant Pot.
Pour in your broth and then use a whisk or spoon to scrape along the bottom and side to get the seasonings that were left behind.
Put in your browned chicken breasts.
Next drop in your cream cheese and then seasoning.
Cover and seal with the lid.
Set for high pressure for 15 minutes.
Allow the Instant Pot to naturally release pressure.
Take the lid off once the pressure is released, I may be paranoid I make sure by flipping the steamer nozzle one more time to make sure it is released.
Remove the chicken and shred it, you can use bear claws we did it the old fashion way with a meat fork and regular fork.
Next mix in the two cups of cheese into the broth mixture and then add back in the chicken.
Keep some bacon on the side and then mix most of the bacon into the instant pot.
Cover with the lid for 5 minutes to allow the cheeses to melt, and prep time for your other sides.
Serve and enjoy!! We served over broccoli and on buns!
