Slow Cooker Mole

Ingredients:
3 large chicken breasts or pork roast
28 oz can of crushed tomatoes
1 4 oz can diced green chilies
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
1 onion, diced
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 tsp balsamic vinegar
1/2 oz unsweetened dark chocolate

Directions:
Place meat in a crockpot. Combine crushed tomatoes, chilies, chili powder, cumin, salt, sugar, onion and garlic. Pour over chicken. Cover crockpot and cook on low for 8 hours. Shred the chicken with two forks. It should fall apart very easily. Stir in vinegar and cut-up chocolate until chocolate has melted completely. Serve on top of diced cooked yams or cooked rice. Also great in quesadillas or wraps, or in a toasted bun as a sandwich.
