Time 55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

5 pasilla chiles, stemmed and seeded
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups chopped onions
2 cloves garlic, minced
5 1/2 ounces Mexican chocolate, such as Ibarra, chopped
1 3/4 cups chicken broth
3 tablespoons smooth peanut butter
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon crumbled dried oregano
2 corn tostadas, torn into pieces
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 rotisserie chicken, cut into 6 pieces

Steps:

  • To make the mole sauce, soak the chiles in 1 1/4 cups water for 15 minutes. Drain well and discard the soaking liquid.
  • Heat the oil in a large heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic and saute until translucent, 5 minutes. Transfer to a blender with the chiles, chocolate, chicken broth, peanut butter, sugar, oregano and tostadas and blend until very smooth. Transfer the sauce to a saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium, cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
  • Season with salt and pepper. Add the rotisserie chicken pieces and stir to combine.

I am not a fan of mole sauce, but I decided to give this recipe a try anyway. I was pleasantly surprised! The mole sauce was not as spicy as I thought it would be, and the chicken was very moist. I would definitely make this dish again.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it! I will definitely be making it again, but I will use less chili powder next time.
