Slow Cooker Easy Chicken Chocolate Mole Recipe

Making a traditional Chocolate Mole calls for well over 20 different ingredients just for the sauce alone. As much as I love to be in my kitchen cooking away when time allows – but I don’t have time to be making an authentic Mexican Chocolate Mole sauce. I created this quick and easy Chicken Chocolate Mole Recipe to easily be made in the slow cooker for a sweet and spicy dinner when you’re looking for comfort food on a cool day.
