- Optional - Brown Chicken Thighs in Instant Pot: Heat up Instant Pot using "Sauté More" function. Wait until it says "HOT" (~8 mins). Add 2 tbsp (28g) unsalted butter in Instant Pot. Ensure butter evenly covers the whole bottom of the inner pot. Season one side of the chicken generously with salt & black pepper. Add chicken in Instant Pot (skin side down), then brown each side of the chicken for 3 ½ minutes. While one side is browning, season the other side with more salt & black pepper.
- Optional - Saute Mushrooms & Garlic: Set aside the browned chicken thighs. Add in sliced mushrooms, then saute for two minutes. Add in minced garlic and 1 tbsp (3.6g) Italian seasonings, then saute for another minute.
- Deglaze Instant Pot: Pour ½ cup (125ml) unsalted stock in Instant Pot, then deglaze by scrubbing all the flavorful brown bits off the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon. Give it a quick mix.

Mix in 2 cups (80g) spinach, 70 - 90g sun-dried tomatoes, ½ cup (125ml) heavy cream and ¼ - ½ cup (16 - 32g) freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Mix and stir well for 2 minutes to cook the spinach.
