- When the pot is hot, add the diced bacon and cook until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the Instant Pot and set aside.
- Sear the chicken breasts 3-4 Minutes per side, until golden brown. Transfer to a plate and set aside. Sear chicken in batches if needed so you do not overcrowd the pot.

- Remove lid and scoop out the chicken and shred.
- Stir the shredded chicken back into the Inner Pot and sprinkle the rest of the cheddar cheese on top; place the lid back on the Instant Pot (powered off) and let stand for 5 minutes to thicken the sauce and melt the cheese.
- Top with previously prepared bacon and fresh chives or scallions. Serve and enjoy!
