Place chicken thighs, water, salt, pepper and bay leaves into an instant pot.
Pressure cook on high for 30 minutes.
While chicken is cooking in the instant pot, cook bacon and drain on a paper towel to remove excess fat. Cut or break it into small bite size pieces.
Once pressure cooker is done, use the quick steam release valve and carefully remove the lid. Allow the remaining steam to escape and then remove all but 1 cup of chicken broth from the pot.
(Save extra chicken broth for other recipes)
Remove bay leaves.
Break chicken into bite size pieces with a fork.
Turn instant pot on to saute.
Add in the Palmini, the Rao's alfredo sauce and the baby spinach.
Stir ingredients together and heat thoroughly.
Serve in bowls and top with bacon, parmesan and pepper flakes if desired.
