Instant Pot Chicken Mole Recipe 395

INSTANT POT CHICKEN MOLE RECIPE - (3.9/5)

Steps:

• Add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil to Instant Pot and press Sauté to start heating. When oil is shimmering, add chili powder, cocoa, garlic, chipotle, cinnamon, and cloves. Cook about 30 seconds. (It will smell really good.) Stir in broth, tomatoes, raisins, and peanut butter. Be sure to scrape any bits of the dry ingredients off the bottom of the pan. (I have a silicone spoon I use for this and it does a great job without damaging any of my cookware.) Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes. Remove the sauce from the pot and puree it in a blender. (I use an immersion blender, which does a great job.) Set it aside. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in the pot. Add the onions and sauté until softened, about five minutes. Stir in sauce, chicken, and peppers. Cover and lock pot; close steam vent. On the Instant Pot, press Off and then press Manual and set the time to 20 minutes. When the timer beeps, press Off. Do a quick pressure release and then carefully remove the lid. Stir in cilantro and serve.

INSTANT POT® CHICKEN MOLE TACOS

Steps:

• Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Heat vegetable oil in the inner pot. Saute tomatillos, tomato, onion, and garlic in the hot oil, stirring occasionally, allowing tomatillo pieces and onion to brown, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Pour mole sauce and chicken broth into the pot and mix. Place chicken breasts into sauce, allowing to sink slightly, but not mixing. Turn Saute mode off. Close and lock the Instant Pot® lid and seal the vent. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 10 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, 15 to 20 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.
• Transfer cooked chicken breasts to a serving bowl and shred using 2 forks. Pour sauce mixture over shredded chicken. Serve with tortillas, black beans, lettuce, queso fresco, and avocado.
