Chicken Mole

Chicken Mole is a spicy Mexican dish made with unsweetened chocolate and lots of spices. While it is flavorful, it is not hot and is great on lettuce leaves topped with sauteed onions and guacamole.

1/2 onion, chopped
1 tbsp garlic, chopped
1 tbsp chili powder
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp cinnamon
1 can diced tomatoes, drained
1 bell pepper, chopped
1-2 tbsp chipotle in adobo, chopped
1 cup chicken broth
1 tbsp peanut butter
1oz unsweetened chocolate, chopped
1-2lb boneless skinless chicken breasts

Heat a skillet to medium high and add onion, garlic, chili powder, cumin and cinnamon. Saute 4-5 minutes, then stir in tomatoes, bell pepper, chipotle, broth, peanut butter and chocolate. Cook 5-10 minutes, then puree until smooth.

Preheat the oven to 350. In a small baking dish, place chicken breasts and cover with mole sauce. Cook 45 minutes or until cooked through.
