Chicken with Mole Sauce
This dish is best made the day before. Allow 15 minutes for prep,
approximately 1 ½ hours total, not including cleanup.
Serves: 8
Ingredients you will need:
- 3 tbsp. vegetable oil
- 8 chicken thighs (or use chicken pieces like legs)
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 green bell pepper, seeded and diced
- 1 poblano pepper, seeded and diced
- 3 cloves garlic, chopped or minced equivalent
- 2 tbsp. chili powder
- 2 tsp. ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1 can(14 oz.) fire roasted tomatoes, undrained
- 1/4 cup raisins
- 4 tbsp. Dark Honey
- 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, chopped (these are sold in
small cans in every grocery store in a Mexican area) - 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup dark Mexican beer, or any dark beer would be fine
- 2 tbsp. peanut butter
- 2 tbsp. sugar
- 1 tsp. salt
- 2 squares (1oz. each) unsweetend chocolate (for baking),
chopped – 60% cocoa or more is best
Accompaniments:
- Cooked white rice
- warm tortillas
- sour cream
- fresh cilantro, chopped
- diced tomatoes
- guacamole
- black or refried beans
Directions:
1. Heat oil in a lg. skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and brown on all
sides, set aside.
2. In the same skillet, sautee onion, bell pepper, poblano pepper and
garlic. Cook and stir until veggies are soft and slightly caramelized. Stir
in chili powder, cumin and cinnamon and cook 3 minutes longer.
3. Add tomatoes, raisins, chipotle peppers, chicken broth, beer, peanut
butter, sugar and salt. Bring to a simmer and cook 20 minutes, stirring
often.
4. Pour the sauce into a blender or food processor and add chocolate.
Cover and blend until smooth.
5. Transfer the chicken into the dutch oven, or a deep heavy cooking
pot, or skillet. Pour sauce over chicken. Cover and simmer for about 45
minutes, or until chicken is cooked through. OR, you can bake it in the
oven for 45 minutes at 350 degrees if you like.
6. Serve warm over cooked white rice or as you like with warm tortillas.
Garnish with a dollop of sour cream and sprinkle with fresh cilantro, if
desired.
7. You will have lots of sauce for left-overs. The sauce and chicken will
keep in the refrigerator for several days and can be frozen.
Note: Make a day ahead and leave in refrigerator for flavors to marry.
WJ thinks this is the best mole we've ever tasted!
