- 8 oz cream cheese
- 1 pkg dry ranch seasoning mix
- 1 cup chicken broth

- Season chicken thighs with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Add oil to pressure cooker and add seasoned chicken thighs to the hot oil. Brown for 2 minutes each side.
- While chicken is cooking, combine cream cheese with ranch seasoning.
- Hit cancel when chicken is done browning. Add broth to Instant Pot and scrape the browned bits off the bottom of the pot (this will prevent the burn notice from appearing).
