Chicken Mole

Ingredients

• •4 chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
• •2 tbsp olive oil
• •1 medium onion, chopped
• •3 garlic cloves, minced
• •2 cups chicken broth
• •1 cup mole sauce (store-bought or homemade)
• •1 tsp ground cumin
• •1 tsp dried oregano
• •Salt and pepper to taste
• •2 cups cooked white rice (for serving)
• •Fresh cilantro (for garnish, optional)
• •Lime wedges (for serving, optional)

Instructions

1. 1

   Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

2. 2

   Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Add them to the skillet, skin-side down, and sear until browned, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.

3. 3

   In the same skillet, add chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until translucent. Then add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

4. 4

   Pour in the chicken broth and mole sauce. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.

5. 5

   Return the chicken to the skillet, skin-side up, and cover. Simmer for about 30 minutes or until the chicken is tender and cooked through.

6. 6

   Once done, remove the chicken from the sauce and set aside. Let the sauce simmer uncovered for 5-10 minutes to thicken slightly.

7. 7

   Serve the chicken over cooked rice, generously ladling mole sauce on top. Garnish with fresh cilantro and lime wedges if desired.
