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!

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!

- Mole sauce is traditionally served over chicken, but it can also be used as a sauce for other meats, such as pork, beef, or fish.
- If you're looking for a vegetarian version of this recipe, you can substitute tofu or tempeh for the chicken.
- For a spicier mole sauce, add a few more chipotle peppers to the sauce. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder.
