How To Make chicken mole sandwich with mole rice

Step 1

CHICKEN**** Place chicken breast in a crock pot, in a bowl add mole sauce and 1 cup hot water, mix until sauce is almost smooth. Pour over chicken. Use enough hot water and cover chicken, cook on high until chicken reaches an internal temp of 165. Reduce to setting to keep warm, The chicken is already done at this point. Remove from bone when ready to build your sammie

Step 2

RICE**** In a medium sauce pan melt butter on medium high, add the rice, orzo, chili powder, salt & pepper, cook for 3 minutes, keep well stirred so it doesn't burn. Add 2 cups water, bring to a boil, remove from heat and cover. Let set until all water is absorbed. When ready to serve fluff with fork and add some of the mole sauce from the crock pot over it.
Step 3

AVOCADO SPREAD**** Split avocado in half and remove seed and remove skin, place in bowl, using a fork smash the avocado, add yogurt, salt and pepper flakes, mix well
Step 4

BUILD YOUR SAMMIE**** Cut the thawed sheet of puff pastry into 6 pieces, place on baking sheet lined with parchment paper,place another sheet of parchment paper on top of pastry, place another baking sheet on top of that, if your sheets aren't heavy place a iron skillet on top for weight, or 2 bricks wrapped in foil. bake for 20-25 minutes in a preheated 350 degree oven. let cool, spread avocado spread on each piece, add chicken. split in half and serve beside rice. **** You can use any bread you want****
