Instructions

Place the carrots, onions, celery and chick peas in the bottom of the liner pot. Top with chicken breasts then add cinnamon, garlic powder, salt, pepper, lemon juice and chicken broth.
Close the lid, make sure the vent is closed then press "SOUP". Once the timer goes off, release the pressure naturally using NPR. This may take up to 30 minutes.
Remove the lid then carefully shred the chicken breasts using two forks. Stir in the spinach before serving, stirring it for 1-2 minutes or until it's wilted. Check for seasoning and add more salt, pepper or lemon juice to taste.
