Chicken Mole with Rice IP

This recipe is for the 8 q but can be revised for the 6
if your making Rice at the same time then you will need a long legged trivet as shown in pic or you can use a lotus steamer.

4-6 frozen Chicken Thighs

2 c Onion chopped

6 cloves Garlic

1 Tbsp Cumin

1/2 tsp Anise

1 c Mole paste

1 1/2 c Water 2 Tbsp Costco’s Better than Bullion Chicken ( you may need to add more after the Chicken is done Depending on how much liquid it releases)


Put the Onions, Garlic in first, Cumin and Anise and then the Chicken, Mole and better than bullion.
If your making Rice, this is the time to put another long legged, Trivet on top of the Chicken, and then the stainless Bowl of Rice and it’s liquid. use 1 C Rice to 1 c water MINUS 1 Tbsp per cup that you add. make sure to rinse the Rice and drain it extremely well.
Set the time for 25 min, and let it NPR for 20.

Open the lid, and remove the Rice, (If you made some), then the Trivet, it’ll be a mess but shake it off. Your mole paste will still be setting on top of the Chicken, so scrape it off, and remove the Chicken. Remove the chicken from the bones. Stir up the Mole Sauce taste it, and add more seasoning if needed. and Put the chicken back in. Also, now is the time to adjust the flavor. If you think that there is too much mole paste in the sauce, you can add chicken broth to it, It will thin it down a bit and add more chicken flavor (Costco’s Better than Bullion Chicken and water).

Add Onions and Spices to the Pot and add the Broth. In this case water. The Costco Better than Bullion is on top with the Mole Paste.
Put a trivet….long legged…on top of the chicken. It makes it stable for the rice to set on.
Set the rice on top.
The Rice will be Done, remove the Bowl , fluff with a fork and set aside.
The Mole Paste will still be on top and hot. Scrape off into the broth to get to the broth.
Scrape the Mole Paste off the Chicken and remove the Chicken To take the meat off the bones. Let the paste mix into the liquid, this is what make ps the gravy. Taste it it and check the consistency and decide if you want more broth in the gravy.
Take the meat off the bones, and either cut up the skin or discard it. Toss or save the bones for soup.
For this meal, I had the Black Beans in the other Pot.
