There are probably as many different mole recipes as there are people who make mole. Maybe more. This one wasn’t as yummy as some that I’ve tried, but it wasn’t as hard to make, either.

 

Slow Cooker Chicken Mole

 

1 large onion, chopped

1/2 cup raisins

3 cloves garlic, chopped

1 chopped chipotle chile in adobo sauce

3 tablespoons peanut butter

1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes

1 teaspoon cinnamon

4 teaspoons chili powder

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon coriander

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

3 tablespoons cocoa powder

1.5 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts

 

Place onion, raisins, garlic, chipotle, peanut butter and tomatoes in slow cooker. Stir in seasonings. Place chicken in sauce. Cover and cook on low about 5 hours. Remove and shred chicken with two forks; stir back into sauce. Serve with warm tortillas or hot rice.
