Loved, loved, loved it! I made it exactly as written, except I used chicken breasts only. Also, my canned jalapenos were sliced, so I had to estimate how many slices made two whole peppers. I used about 1/4 cup, and that was just the right amount of heat for us. I only wish I'd doubled the recipe! We'll be having this often; thanks for posting!

This recipe was good but be careful not to overcook in the crockpot - the sauce was tasty but may of had a tinge of bitterness to it. My first attempt at home made mole!

Excellent fall-apart tender chicken. I have never had chicken mole before but it is now one of my favorite crockpot dinners. We served this with white rice and Zucchini-Avocado Saute Zucchini-Avocado Saute and Easy Cream Cheese Pound Cake Easy Cream Cheese Pound Cake w/ ice cream for desert for a wonderful meal. Thanks Geema for sharing this delicious and easy way to make chicken which we will be having again soon.
