This recipe has many names- bacon cheddar ranch chicken, cream cheese shredded chicken or even a cr*ck chicken simply because its so addictive. I don’t like the idea of adding such words on my blog so we call this recipe by the ingredients that’s inside.

How to make Ninja Foodi cream cheese shredded chicken with bacon

This recipes requires a few steps for you to follow. Easy enough for a beginner.

  1. Place rinsed chicken breasts (yes, i wash chicken and all the meats before using it) in to the ninja foodi inner pot. Sprinkle with ranch dressing. Cut cream cheese in chunks and place on top as well. Add broth and cook under high pressure for 18 minutes. Quick release.
  2. While the chicken is cooking, make bacon. Just cook it until nice and crispy. Chop and leave aside. You can also use crumbled bacon from the store. Very convenient!
  3. Open the pressure cooker lid and take chicken out. I usually shred it just with two forks. Feeling fancy? Try to shred chicken breasts with the hand or stand mixer. Then add back to the pot, add cheese, green onions and bacon. Stir to combine.

What to serve it with

My favorite way to enjoy this pressure cooker cream cheese shredded chicken is over white or brown rice. Another great way is on the bun or as a sandwich. Or on a taco!

For my low carb readers, try to scoop some chicken on a lettuce leaf, add sliced onions and tomatoes.

Is this recipe keto

Yes it is! As i said earlier serve it on lettuce leaves for keto meal. Or you can totally use this shredded chicken as a dip! Make sure to shred it very well and maybe slice bigger pieces along the way. Dip it with cucumbers or celery.

Can i use frozen chicken

Actually you can. No need to adjust the cooking time, it will just take a bit longer for your ninja foodi pressure cooker to come to pressure.

Can you freeze it

Yes this dish can be frozen. Just place the chicken in the airtight container or ziplock bag and freeze for up to 3 months. I like to use a double bag to prevent freezer burn.

Make it in instant pot

Own an Instant pot? I have great news for you. Since its just another pressure cooker you will need to keep all the instructions the same. Both high pressure and both quick release after 10 minutes natural release.
