Chicken Mole Adobo

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.
