Chicken Mole in the oven, crockpot, or InstaPot?
 

I bought a jar of mole sauce for variety's sake, and the suggested recipe is to pan-sear the chicken, add mole sauce, simmer, serve over rice or potatoes.

I hate standing over the stove. Does anyone familiar with mole sauce have a tried-and-true method that I can put it to cook with less fuss? I'm fine with baking in the oven, crockpot, pressure cooker, etc. However I can use this up with the least amount of steps and monitoring.

I'm even fine with changing the recipe to turn it into taco filling, enchiladas, etc. More people might even like it served that way. :shrug3

* I also bought a jar of green chili sauce with similar directions. Suggestions welcome for that, too.

I always boil and shred my chicken for mole. Then just pour the sauce over it right bef or I serve it. I'm sure you could just put the chicken in the insta pot or crock pot and pour the sauce in at the same time.

I would cook the chicken in the slow cooker or IP. Drain and shred, add sauce and heat through.

Or I'd put it all in a casserole dish and bake. My only concern with that is if the chicken released a lot of water and made the sauce watery. :think. I bet you could find a recipe for baked chicken mole casserole that has rice on the bottom.
