Slow Cooker Chicken Mole

Honestly, I am not the biggest fan of Chicken Mole, but my wife loves it. For Cinco de Mayo, I decided to make this dish for her. I immediately found out that when it is made fresh at home, it is so much better than what you get it at the restaurants.
But please, please, please do not make the same mistake that I did with the recipe. A lot of recipes called for 4lbs of Chicken, but that seemed to be too much to us. We decided to halve the recipes that we found. We did that with everything, EXCEPT the chiles. Holy cow, that was Hot!
We added more chocolate, so it was salvaged somewhat. Do not worry, this recipe has the right amount. If you like your food really hot, then just double the chiles. We had this over rice one night and in a burrito the following. Both were really good.
Enjoy!

Beef Mole Enchiladas Beef Mole Enchiladas
When I was a kid one of my favorite things to eat was cheese enchiladas suiza. Suiza is enchiladas with a tomato based sauce. As I got older and my pallet became more refined my favor turned to beef and the delicious mole sauce. If you've never tried it you don't know what you've been missing. Pronounced Mole-ay, it's a chocolate based sauce, but don't let that perturb you. It doesn't taste anything like the chocolate you're thinking of. It's a fantastic, savory, spicy brown sauce that pairs so well with beef. Here's my quick and easy recipe for Beef Mole Enchiladas. Whitetrash Gastronome -

Slow Cooker BBQ Chicken Slow Cooker BBQ Chicken
You may notice a theme in 2 of my last 3 recipes. I love BBQ. I will put it on anything and everything. People may like ketchup/catsup, mayonnaise, mustard, etc on their fries, but I prefer BBQ sauce. To me it is so much better. A juicy cheeseburger? BBQ Sauce.Ice cream? Chocolate syrup. Even I have limits to what I put BBQ sauce on.With this recipe, it is all about taking a chance. After I made the ribs, I thought to myself, why not do this with chicken? My wife said, "Yes please." We took the plunge.Needless to say, we loved it. 99% of the recipes that I have posted, I love. Only one of the recipes, I was eh with, but others loved it. So I posted it. I will let you decide which one it is.Back to the recipe. I have digressed a lot, my ADD is in full effect. :-) Anyway, I love this recipe. What is not to love? Tender, moist, chicken with BBQ sauce. It is super simple and super delicious. Enjoy with whatever you want. I love cornbread muffins and string beans, so I ate it with that.You can keep the skin on or take it off. We like it skinless, so we took it off ourselves. Not hard to do at all. If I can do it, then anyone can. This recipe calls for bone in chicken thighs, but you can use any part that you prefer.Enjoy!
