A slow cooker chicken mole recipe that is so easy to make.you'll have mole for dinner every night! We love mole but I have memories of my mom slaving over a hot stove to make a sauce from scratch and then cook all of the components of an excellent mole. We use a store bought jar of prepared mole to make this an easy meal for any weeknight. Serve the mole over rice with salad and a dollop of Knorr's creamy guacamole for a dish the whole family will love.
Slow cooker meats always come out juicy and tender, making them easy to reheat and use in other meals down the line. This mole recipe makes enough mole for chicken mole for dinner one night and mole nachos for dinner the next night. We'll be sharing the mole nachos recipe tomorrow … you have NOT had nachos until you've had these!

I love easy meals like this slow cooker chicken mole recipe for the fall… the cooler weather and all the hustle and bustle of getting back into school routines are a perfect time for firing up the ole slow cooker. It's nice a have a quick and easy recipe like this in your recipe box for these shorter and busier days, especially since you can get two meals out of the one recipe. Be sure to visit again tomorrow for the Chicken Mole Nachos recipe!

Oh I am so glad to hear that Maggie 🙂 Let me know what you think!
this is my first mole experience…i am a little troubled by the jar of mole sauce, which is more of a hard paste….do i use it all and how do you prepare it????
You can follow the directions on the jar to make the paste into more of a liquid. That should help!
Help. Says 2 tablespoons of cubes. I can’t find anything that tells me how many cubes equals 2 tablespoons. Thanks.
Hello, it is not cubes – it is the loose, ground bouillon. You can find it at the store in a jar like I show in the post. Or you can smash the cubes and then measure the crushed bouillon. Hope that helps!
Thanks. I had already bought cubes. Was hard to tell in picture and first time cooking with these ingredients. Used 6 cubes. Almost done cooking… hoping yummy. Thanks for an easy recipe.
Highly recommend. Delicious!!!! Cubes worked great but next time I’ll find the other. Thanks. Made for a great bday dinner for hubby.

Really looking forward to making this today! This recipe calls to me, comfort and adventure!
Any rice recommendations?
I was thinking a basic lightly spiced Spanish rice…
I’m so sorry I’m just now seeing this. I have a recipe for Mexican rice that will go really well with this. Just search for rice in the search bar here on this site.
I made this the other night sooooooooo very good!!! Im making more tonight
Oh my gosh that makes me so happy to hear! I’m glad you like it 🙂
