Cheater Instant Pot® Pollo en Mole image

This chicken mole is my rendition of the Mexican classic, but cooked in an Instant Pot®. I'm not claiming it's authentic, but family raves about it. I use Mexican mole dry seasoning from the Savory Spice® shop. Serve on top of rice or warmed corn tortillas garnished with queso fresco and sliced avocado.

Steps:

  • Combine tomatoes, chicken broth, mole seasoning, water, 2 tablespoons grapeseed oil, ancho chile powder, chipotle chile powder, salt, and pepper in a blender; blend until smooth.
  • Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Allow to get hot and add remaining 1 tablespoon grapeseed oil. Add onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Cancel Saute mode. Add chicken and pour sauce on top.
