Chicken Mole





"That sounds disgusting"... Is usually the response I get when I try and describe this recipe. Chicken with Peanut Butter and Chocolate?? But I promise you it's quite delicious and very authentic. This is a 3 generation old recipe that comes right from my family in Mexico. :-) 


Printable Recipe

Ingredients
3 chicken breast 
1 Hershey chocolate bar
1 clove of garlic
3/4 jar of "Mole" stuff
1/4 cup chopped onions
1 piece of bread
2 tablespoons smooth peanut butter
1 tablespoon EVOO


Directions
Place your chicken breast in a pot of water. Boil approx 30 minutes until chicken is completely cooked. Then shred your chicken. SAVE YOUR WATER WHEN YOU'RE DONE! 


In a large saucepan add your EVOO. Once hot add your garlic and onions. Cook approx 2 minutes. Transfer the mix to a blender. Put the bread in your saucepan to soak up the oil, approx 30 seconds. 


In a blender add 1/2 jar of your "mole" stuff, the garlic onion mix, chocolate, peanut butter and a your bread. Take 1 3/4 cup of water from your chicken and add to the blender. Blend until you get a sauce (Picture below)


Add your shredded chicken to the saucepan and your mole sauce. Mix well, heat and serve! 


My husband eats his like a taco. I prefer mine just plopped on a plate with a little sour cream and cheese. :-)
