Steps:

  • For the mole: Tear the ancho, anaheim, and chipotle chiles into large pieces and toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat until they change color a bit, about 2 minutes. Put them into a bowl with the raisins and cover them with hot water. Soak unti softened, about 30 minutes. In the same skillet over medium heat, add the almonds, sesame seeds, peppercorns, cinnamon stick, oregano, and thyme. Toast for 2 minutes, grind in a spice grinder, and add the powder to a blender. In the same skillet over medium-high heat add the olive oil, onions, garlic, and serrano. Cook until lightly browned, then add the tomatoes. Cook until vegetables are softened, about 10 to 15 minutes, then add to the blender. Add the chocolate and the soaked chiles and raisins to the blender along with some of the chile soaking liquid. Puree, adding more soaking liquid as needed, to make a smooth sauce. (This makes about 4 cups sauce, the recipe uses 2 cups, the extra can be frozen). Pour the lemon juice over the chicken and season it well with salt and pepper. Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large heavy-bottomed skillet and brown the chicken on all sides; remove the browned chicken to a plate leaving the oil in the pan. Pour 2 cups of the mole sauce into the hot skillet and simmer for about 5 minutes. Add the chicken stock and return the chicken pieces to the pan. Simmer, covered, until the chicken is cooked through, about 20 to 25 minutes. Meanwhile, put the onion and radish slices into a bowl. Add the lime juice and remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and season with salt. Mix well and serve with the chicken. Serve over cooked white rice with the onion and radish salad. Garnish everything with cilantro leaves. Recipe courtesy Tyler Florence Read more at: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/tyler-florence/chicken-mole-poblano-recipe.html?oc=linkback

This mole poblano was a good starting point, but I made a few changes to improve it. I added more chili powder and cumin to the sauce, and I used chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts. The result was a much more flavorful and satisfying dish.

This mole poblano was okay, but not great. The sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste, and the chicken was a bit dry. I think I would have liked it better if the sauce had been more savory and the chicken had been more moist.

I was disappointed with this mole poblano recipe. The sauce was bland and the chicken was dry. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong. I won't be making this recipe again.

This mole poblano is a labor of love, but it's totally worth it. The sauce is incredibly complex and flavorful, and the chicken is fall-off-the-bone tender. I served it with rice and beans, and it was a huge hit with my guests.
