mole chicken

2014-02-09 a.o.

Mole is a Mexican condiment that comes in many variations, each a specialty of a different part of Mexico. Sauces like mole, a.o. are a good way to add extra flavor to boiled chicken meat, but other chicken preparations will work too.

This is the brown or chocolate mole, which is the better-known variety in the USA.

I do serve this most often with or over rice.

INGREDIENTS

This is what you need for 2 servings:

½ cup rice, cooked
1 lb. chicken meat,
roast or boiled, pulled in strips
OR use fresh chicken breast
2 cups chocolate mole sauce
S&P

Directions

Prepare the Mole Sauce.
When you have the desired amount and thickness, simmer over low heat for 10 minutes.
Pull the cooked chicken meat in fairly large pieces. (Pic1)
Do not cut the meat, it doesn't look as nice.
If the meat hasn't been cooked yet, sear or stir-fry until fully cooked.

Serving suggestions:

Serve the sauce on the side.
Serve the chicken on a bed or rice and pour the mole sauce over it all. (Pic1+2)
Add the meat to the sauce (Pic4)
Mix with rice and shape it like a big dome. (Pic7)

I prepare chicken mole several times a year, most often as a convenient way to process leftover chicken.

Yes, I think this is this special enough for my New Year's dinner.
I pulled cooked chicken meat, stirred it into the sauce and served it with raw and cooked celeriac.
