By Edoo

Ingredients

• 1 cup chopped onion
• 1/3 cup golden raisins
• 1/3 cup currants
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 1/2 teaspoons ancho chile powder
• 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
• 3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
• 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 5 teaspoons cocoa powder
• 1/4 teaspoon hot pepper sauce, or to taste
• 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
• 1 cup tomato sauce
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 3 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
• 1/4 cup slivered almonds, for garnish

Preparation

Step 1

Place the onion, raisins, currants, garlic, chile powder, sesame seeds, cumin, cinnamon, cocoa powder, hot sauce, tomatoes, tomato sauce, and chicken broth into a slow cooker; stir to mix. Add the chicken breasts, and stir to cover with sauce.

Cover and cook on Low 6 hours, then increase heat to High, and continue cooking until the chicken is tender, about 3 hours more. Or cook on Low for 11 to 12 hours.

Once the chicken is tender, remove, shred, and stir it back into the mole. Serve sprinkled with slivered almonds.
