The chicken was dry and the mole sauce was bland. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think I just need to adjust the amount of chili powder next time.

I followed the recipe but my mole sauce didn't turn out as thick as I would have liked. I think I'll add more chocolate next time.

I made this dish for my family and they loved it! The chocolate flavor was a bit too strong for my taste, but everyone else seemed to enjoy it.

I was hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of chocolate in savory dishes, but I was pleasantly surprised. The chocolate flavor is subtle and complements the mole sauce perfectly.
