Recipe Summary Easy Slow Cooker Chicken Mole

This is a shredded, slow-cooker version of my favorite chicken mole, created when I knew I wouldn't have time in the evening to make the real thing for dinner. If you can't find ancho chili powder, you can substitute regular, but use a little more; and use your favorite type of hot sauce. I love Golden Habanero, but any kind tastes good!

Ingredients | Mole Mexicano Recipe

1 cup chopped onion

⅓ cup golden raisins

⅓ cup currants

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 ½ teaspoons ancho chile powder

2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds

¾ teaspoon ground cumin

¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon

5 teaspoons cocoa powder

¼ teaspoon hot pepper sauce, or to taste

1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes

1 cup tomato sauce

1 cup chicken broth

3 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

¼ cup slivered almonds, for garnish

Directions

Place the onion, raisins, currants, garlic, chile powder, sesame seeds, cumin, cinnamon, cocoa powder, hot sauce, tomatoes, tomato sauce, and chicken broth into a slow cooker; stir to mix. Add the chicken breasts, and stir to cover with sauce.

Cover and cook on Low 6 hours, then increase heat to High, and continue cooking until the chicken is tender, about 3 hours more. Or cook on Low for 11 to 12 hours.

Once the chicken is tender, remove, shred, and stir it back into the mole. Serve sprinkled with slivered almonds.
