Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into large chunks
  • 4 tablespoons butter cut into pieces
  • 1 tablespoon dry ranch dressing mix
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 3/4 cup buffalo sauce
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 8 ounces cheddar cheese shredded
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing
  • 3 green onions sliced
  • 12 sweet Hawaiian rolls

Instructions

  • Prep the Pot: Add the chicken to the Instant Pot and scatter the butter pieces over the top. Sprinkle the dry ranch dressing mix evenly over the chicken and butter.

  • Mix the Sauce: In a small bowl, stir together the chicken broth, buffalo sauce, and minced garlic. Pour it over the chicken.
    1/2 cup chicken broth, 3/4 cup buffalo sauce, 2 garlic cloves minced
  • Pressure Cook: Lock the lid, set the valve to Seal, and cook on Pressure Cook High for 15 minutes. When it’s done, let the pressure release naturally, then open the lid.
  • Shred and Taste: Shred the chicken right in the pot using two forks. Let it sit in the sauce for 2 to 3 minutes so it soaks it up. Taste and adjust if needed by adding a little more buffalo sauce for heat.
  • Assemble the Sliders: Split the rolls. Layer the bottom halves with buffalo chicken, shredded cheddar, ranch dressing, and sliced green onions, then add the top halves.
    8 ounces cheddar cheese shredded, 1/2 cup ranch dressing, 3 green onions sliced, 12 sweet Hawaiian rolls
  • Serve Warm: Secure with toothpicks if you want party-tray stability, then serve right away while the chicken is hot and the cheese is melty.
