Chicken Mole Ingredients
Method
Cooking Directions
- 1
Prepare the Chicken
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

Cook the Chicken
Add the chicken thighs to the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and brown them on both sides for about 6-8 minutes. Pour in the chicken broth and mole sauce, bring to a simmer, cover, and cook for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.

Make the Tortillas
In a mixing bowl, combine blue corn masa harina and water to form a dough. Divide the dough into small balls. Press each ball between two sheets of plastic wrap to form tortillas, then cook them on a hot griddle for about 1 minute on each side.

Serve
Once the chicken is cooked, shred it and mix it with the mole sauce. Serve the chicken mole with hand-pressed blue corn tortillas, a squeeze of lime juice, and garnish with fresh cilantro.
