Wanted to know how I should prepare the chicken. I want it in the mole sauce. Do I cook the chicken first or can it cook in the sauce?
Traditionally the mole sauce is always prepared separate from the meat (or veggie) and served over or on the side of the dish. Normally, I use chicken breast. I prefer bone-in for flavor. You can bring water to a boil, add your chicken and let the water return back to a boil. Then lower the heat so the breast simmers for about 20-25 min until cooked through but not overcooked. I let the chicken cool and then shred it with two forks (or your fingers work well too). This is how I make shredded chicken for my enchiladas. Grilled chicken also tastes good with mole. For a quick and easy solution, you can even get a rotisserie chicken from the market. Provecho!
How can I use Dona Maria ready to serve mole ins crockpot with frozen chicken thighs? Any suggestions?
YES! Usually, when eating mole traditionally, the sauce is prepared separately from the meat. But you can do whatever you want. I have two suggestions: 1. You can prepare the chicken alone in the crockpot with water, some spices, and maybe an onion halved. You could then prepare the Dona Maria mole really quick in the microwave and pour over the chicken. you could also shred the thighs then and put the shredded meat in a tortilla top with the sauce for a taco. You could also roll the shredded meat in a tortilla, top with sauce, crema, and cheese for an enchilada. 2. I’ve never cooked the ready-to-serve in a crockpot, but I would put the chicken in with the sauce and maybe a little bit of water. Then I would slice some white onion really then and throw that on top. Let me know how it turns out. Provecho!
