Ingredients

  • 1 (10-ounce) package frozen chopped spinach
  • 1 (14-ounce) can quartered artichoke hearts, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, cubed
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • ½ cup chicken stock
  • 4 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 2 cups shredded Cabot Seriously Sharp Cheddar Cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Cabot Monterey Jack Cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves (optional, for garnish)

Step-by-step instructions:

  1. Add ingredients to the Instant Pot: Start by placing the frozen spinach, drained artichoke hearts, cubed cream cheese, sour cream, chicken stock, green onions, minced garlic, kosher salt, and crushed red pepper flakes into your Instant Pot. Stir everything together until it’s well combined.
  2. Set the Instant Pot: Close the lid and set your Instant Pot to the manual setting, adjusting the pressure to high. Set the timer for 3 minutes.
  3. Release the pressure: Once the cooking time is up, carefully quick-release the pressure according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This helps to safely release steam from the pot.
