Authentic Chicken Mole

TRADITIONAL RECIPE

1

Mole is known as a "concoction" or "mix" of multiple ingredients. This authentic mole recipe includes dried peppers, nuts, seeds, bread, citrus, and chocolate.

The reddish brown color of mole comes from the mix of dried guajillo, pasilla, and ancho peppers. These peppers are blended into a broth along with other toasted ingredients.

Once the sauce is well blended with chicken broth, you can use it immediately with chicken or turkey or freeze it for later. 

Chicken mole is typically topped with sesame seeds and served with charro beans (or refried beans) and rice.
