Paleo Slow Cooker Chicken Mole

By

Mole is surprisingly simple and easy when you use this slow cooker recipe based on Martha Stewart's. It's moderately spicy without being overbearing and has an amazing depth of flavor. The recipe yields lots of extra sauce, so put some out with tortilla chips before serving it for dinner. Serve chicken in tortillas with fresh jalapeno or red onions.
