After the full debut for Kenedy in the midweek 4-1 Capital One Cup win at Walsall, Mourinho is happy with the stength of his squad in midfield.
With Kenedy lining up on the left-hand side instead of Eden Hazard and performing well the Chelsea manager is happy with the options he has available to him.
"Kenedy can play there, but also Pedro can," Mourinho said. "Because for Pedro to play on the right or the left is the exactly same thing.
"With Pedro, Hazard, Willian and Kenedy, we have no problems, we have competition, we can rotate, we can decide."
Coming directly to Chelsea from Brazilian side Fluminense, Kenedy was relatively unknown to fans across England when he joined the London club.
According to Mourinho this took the pressure of the young Brazilian and he was convinced to include Kenedy in his first team squad, rather than further his development at a loan club, by what he saw during pre-season.
"It is perfect - quiet, calm, let him play when he plays and catch the opportunities," said Mourinho on the subject of Kenedy’s low-key introduction.
"Bertrand Traore had the opportunity against Maccabi and Kenedy did against Walsall, and Ruben Loftus-Cheek did in both matches.
"This is the way to do it with them - calm, let them play, let them learn. They are good players with very good potential.
"Kenedy had a good pre-season in the States and he played the game against Barcelona.
"It was a friendly but he was playing against good players in front of over 75,000 with a big atmosphere.
"The fact that he could mentally cope with it gave us a little push, and for the evolution of the players it is better if they can stay with us, even if they don’t play as much as they could play in a smaller club.
"I always feel that with young players, that period with the Chelsea first team is very important for them."
