Instructions to Get You There
Follow these steps to bring rich flavors to your table:
- In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Add the chicken thighs to the pot, browning them on all sides for about 7-10 minutes.
- Once the chicken is browned, pour in the chicken broth and roasted tomatoes. Season with chili powder, cocoa powder, sugar, cinnamon, salt, and pepper.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cover and let it cook for about 30-40 minutes until the chicken is tender and infused with all those delicious spices.
- Once cooked, remove the chicken from the pot and let it rest for a few minutes before shredding it into bite-sized pieces.
- Return the shredded chicken back to the pot, stirring it well to coat with the mole sauce.
- Serve hot, garnished with chopped cilantro. This goes great with rice or fresh tortillas!
