Slow Cooker Chicken Mole

Despite a long ingredient list, it's surprisingly simple to make.

Recipe Summary Slow Cooker Chicken Mole

A dark, rich, complex flavored Mole recipe. I generally shred the chicken so it will soak up the mole sauce and serve it with warmed tortillas. It is always a hit with those who like spicy foods. This recipe can be played with easily to tailor it to your own level of hotness and/or cocoa/peanut flavor. Mole is a sauce that has a lot of variations. I've even served it as a dip with corn chips!
