- 1 tablespoon sriracha
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 1/4 cup water
- For the jalapeno ranch dressing:
- 1 cup mayonnaise (may adjust up to make it thicker, if necessary)
- 1/4 cup olive oil (I used 1/2 garlic-infused olive oil and 1/2 regular to get a garlic flavor)
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 1/2 jalapeño (remove ribs and seeds for less heat)

Directions
-
Prep: Preheat the oven to 475 degrees (broil setting).
-
Instant Pot: Place all chicken mixture ingredients in the Instant Pot. Cook on high pressure for 10 minutes (20 if frozen). Release the pressure and shred chicken directly in pot.
-
Broil: Transfer shredded chicken mixture to a baking sheet lined with foil. Broil for 10-15 minutes until browned, watching carefully to avoid burning and stirring occasionally.
-
Sauce: Pulse jalapeño ranch ingredients in a food processor.
