Can I make dairy free crack chicken in the Instant Pot?
1) Add chicken broth and frozen chicken to the Instant Pot. The chicken will produce more liquid as it cooked so you do not need to use more.
2) Close the lid and turn the pressure valve to sealing. Cook the chicken on high pressure using the “manual” or “pressure cook” setting for 15 minutes. Let the pressure naturally release.
3) Remove the lid. Drain and shred the chicken then add it back to the Instant Pot.
4) Mix the remaining ingredients in the blender until smooth, about 1 minute.
5) Pour the sauce over the chicken. Turn the Instant Pot to saute mode, continue to stir the chicken until the sauce is warm.
6) Serve in a lettuce wrap topped with turkey bacon (or add turkey bacon after step 5).
How about in the Crockpot?
1) Add the chicken and chicken broth to your slow cooker insert.
2) Cover the slow cooker with the lid. Cook the chicken on high heat for 4-5 hours or low heat for 6-8 hours.

4) Mix the remaining ingredients in the blender until smooth, about 1 minute.
5) Pour the sauce over the chicken. Stir the chicken until the sauce is warm and all the chicken is covered.
6) Serve in a lettuce wrap topped with turkey bacon (or add turkey bacon after step 5).

I would rather not use tofu at all. Is there something else I can use or can I leave it out?
Becca says
Allison, I don’t know if there is anything else with the consistency of tofu but if there is it might work. I’m not super fluent in tofu ;)
