recipe: chicken mole ole

this was din last night, inspired by the delicious Lindt Chili Chocolate Bar i've been snacking on in my car (car chocolate - one of the many perks of winter). the recipe i used was from Show Food Chef, just removing the dried cherries (reminds me of raisins in stuff... no thanks). make sure you read the verdict after the recipe before trying this one... 

ingredients list:
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 3 cups tomato sauce or seasoned tomatoes (i used Hunts Fire Roasted Diced)
- 1 cup water or chicken stock
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup peanut butter
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 chipotle chile in adobo sauce (canned), chopped
- 3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder 
- 2 tbsp chili powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 2 large chicken breasts


to make: add all ingredients except the chicken in a slow cooker and stir until fully combined. add chicken, and cook on low for 5-6 hours.


when done, use 2 forks to shred the chicken and blend into the sauce. serve on buns, tortillas, or over rice.

verdict: didn't love this. it has a ton of yummy ingredients, but somehow when they are all together they all compliment each other too well to the point that it becomes one flat flavor. all i tasted was smokey adobo, and realized i don't think i really like adobo that much. kyle felt the same. it's not insult to the author of the orig recipe, just personal taste preference that i won't be making it again. 3***. if you do like adobo-ish stuff, you'll probably love this.
