  • Have you heard of Crack Chicken? If not, you are in for a real treat! I loved this recipe so much when I tried it, that I developed a little bit of a different spin on it and made it in my Instant Pot. I hadn’t found of a good Instant Pot Crack Chicken Recipe so I made my own!

    I am a HUGE fan of dump recipes.  As a debt free life coach I know the #1 area where people overspend is on their food. My goal is to teach others how to budget, how to get out of debt, and meal plan!

    In this recipe I made my own ranch seasoning.

    To make it easier, you can find ranch seasoning packets in your local grocery store. Simply replace my ranch seasoning mixture with the store bought ranch packet, and it will turn out the same!

    4.) Remove the chicken from the pan and turn the Instant Pot back to saute, use a fork to whisk up the cream cheese, and then add the yogurt and jack cheese to melt (if you find the mixture too thick add a bit of milk to thin it). Be sure to turn the Instant Pot off as soon as the cheese is melting well to keep it from scalding.
