  1. Combine the oil and onion in the pressure cooker. 
  2. Set to Sauté on high temperature, cooking for at least 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until well colored but not burnt; transfer to a plate, and season with salt. 
  3. Add the chicken pieces to the cooker in a single layer, and cook for 5 to 8 minutes, turning once, until browned on both sides; work in batches, if necessary. 
  4. Return the onions to the cooker, and season lightly. 
  5. Stir in the mole sauce; the chicken should be covered by ¾-inch of sauce, add water or stock if needed. 
  6. Lock the lid and bring to high pressure, and cook for 15 minutes; let cool naturally. 
  7. Taste and adjust the seasonings. 
  8. Combine the rice and spinach, and divide among warmed plates. 
  9. Serve with sour cream, cilantro sprig, and lime wedge.
