Put the lid on the Instant Pot and set the valve to SEALING.
Cook on HIGH PRESSURE for 8 minutes.
Press CANCEL and QUICK RELEASE the pressure. Once the pin drops, carefully remove the lid.
Shred the chicken breast and mix it into the sauce.
Add in the ranch dressing, cream cheese, and half of the cheddar cheese.
Mix until it's combined and all of the cream cheese is melted.
You can leave it in the Instant Pot liner or transfer it to a serving dish. It will be runny at this point. You need to let it cool. It will thicken as it cools.
Sprinkle the remaining cheddar on top and top with your favorite toppings.

Notes
A great way to shred chicken breast is to utilize a hand mixer or stand mixer.
It's really important to let it cool to thicken. With this method, it will be runny when it's first done.
I recommend transferring it to a shallow serving dish so that it's easier to scoop.
