Chicken Mole Adobo

Dsc02468

Couldn't be easier...or tastier.

CHICKEN MOLE ADOBO

  • 1 whole cut-up chicken
  • oil (olive, corn, etc.)
  • 1 jar Doña Maria Mole Adobo (or regular mole)
  • a little sugar (optional)
  • 2 cups chicken broth

First, bring the chicken broth to a simmer. Stir in 1/2 jar of mole adobo and a little sugar to taste (to cut the bitterness a bit) and whisk constantly until mole blends into the sauce.  This takes a little time and effort so be patient.

Meanwhile brown chicken parts in a frying pan in a little oil over medium heat.  Add in mole sauce. Bring to simmer then reduce to low. Cover and cook 20-30 minutes more. Serve with white rice and an orange, red onion, and arugula salad. Serves 4.

That looks wonderful! I've never tried mole adobo - is it spicey/hot?

It's spice-ful, but not spicy. My kids (who don't like hot) ate it.

This sounds great. I love the way you plan your meals as well. Sometimes it is hard for me not to serve the same thing weekly. I am going to try this tonight.

Cooking Gear To Spice Things Up

  • All-Clad cookware
    I use the stainless line. I love it because you can put it in the dishwasher. If you like to cook it is sooo worth it to have quality pots and pans. I recommend buying a set on sale and then filling in extras as you need them. (Watch for sales and specials.)
  • Cast Iron Skillet
    Please get rid of all your teflon-coated non-stick plans and get a cast iron skillet. I use mine for searing meat, poultry, and fish and then finishing off in the oven. In fact, get two cast iron skillets—one large enough to hold two ribeyes and a smaller, fried-egg-sized one for making...well...eggs.
  • Food Processor
    Quickly slice/shred veggies and cheese, make hummus or other spreads in a snap, and make pie crust without making a mess.
  • Global Knives
    I am partial to the 18 incher. Yep, I like big knives and I cannot lie. If you like to cook (or even if you don't) you deserve to have good knives. At least one.
  • Instant Hot Water Dispenser
    If you can't afford to have one built-in, this is a great alternative. It's nice to have boiling water at the push of a button to make tea, instant miso soup, or morning oatmeal for the kidlets.
  • Microplane Grater/Zester
    Use this to grate citrus zest, nutmeg, and cheese. You could get a coarser one, but you don't need to. I have one and I use it for everything.
  • Penzey's Spices
    A great resource for all your herb and spice needs.
  • Rice Cooker
    Every family should have one.
  • Silpat
    Silpat is a silicone mat used for baking. They come in various sizes. Items will not stick to it. It is a must for any home baker.
  • Stick or Immersion Blender
    It doesn't have to be fancy, but try and get the highest HP you can afford. I use my stick blender (+ attachments) for making salad dressing (weekly), pureeing soups, making babyfood, and whipping cream.
