Ingredients for Instant Pot Crack Chicken
Chicken Breast- Chicken Thighs and Legs wont shred as well but they are still an option.
Cream Cheese- The more the better.I started skimpy but i ended up overloading it because this is the stuff that will make the chicken moist and juicy!
Cheddar Cheese- Any cheddar would do here.
Parmesan Cheese-Just for that added nutty flavour.You can skip it if you want.
Water or Chicken Broth- Homemade broth works best.if not then you can use stock cubes.
Scallions or Green Onion- You can also use chives if you have.
Italian Seasoning & Salt

- Use Colby Cheese if you can
