Mole Chicken Poblano Sweet Corn Chili

I love a good chili! Especially on a chilly, fall day! However, this particular chili is so good that I would eat it on ANY DAY! I don’t care how hot or cold it is outside. LOL! This pot of goodness has the perfect combination of spicy richness! I love the hint of mole with the spicy poblano and the addition of the sweet corn takes this chili over the top! I will never forget the first time I tried Mole. I was with my Mom on vacation in South Texas and we were at a Mexican restaurant in the local mall. My mom talked me into trying the Mole and I was smitten from my first bite! I couldn’t believe how amazing the flavor was and from then on, if I’m out to Tex Mex and mole is on their menu, I’m ordering it! Add this chili to your must try list and you will be making it on repeat once you taste it!

Notes

  • Enjoy this Saturday Dinners With Ang episode where I demonstrate how to whip this D to the LISH chili together!
  • This soup can easily be made in the Instant Pot or Slow Cooker.
  • Instant Pot method: On sauté function, prepare everything the same through step 4. At step 4, the IP method will be to add lid and select to pressure for 8 minutes with a quick pressure release. Remove lid, ladle in bowls and DIVE IN!
  • Slow Cooker method: On the stove top, prepare everything the same through step 3. Once chicken is browned, add everything from your skillet to your slow cooker and add remaining ingredients. Set slow cooker to low and slow cook for 6-8 hours. Ladle in bowls when you’re ready to eat and of course…DIVE IN!
