How To Make chicken mole my mommy's way___bebita

  • Chicken boiling in a pot.

    Add chicken to a deep pot. Cover chicken with the water and boil for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is done.
  • Mole sauce, chocolate, and chicken stock in a blender.

    After the chicken is cooked, to a blender add the Mole sauce, the chocolate (1 1/2 rounds), and the hot chicken stock (what's remaining from the cooked chicken). Let it cool for a bit and blend.
  • Flour added to the blender.

    Add the mole mixture to a pan or pot on low heat and simmer stirring constantly so it will not burn. Once the Mole sauce has thickened (not too much) turn the heat off and add chicken pieces.
