Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Toast the chiles

Remove the stems and seeds from the guajillo and ancho chiles. Toast the chiles in a dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.

2
Soak the chiles

Place the toasted chiles in a bowl and cover them with hot water. Let them soak for 30 minutes until softened.

3
Prepare the vegetables

Roughly chop the tomatoes and onion. Peel the garlic cloves.

4
Blend the mole sauce

In a blender, combine the soaked chiles, chopped tomatoes, onion, garlic, almonds, raisins, corn tortilla, Mexican chocolate, cumin, cinnamon, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth, adding chicken broth as needed to achieve a thick, sauce-like consistency.

5
Brown the chicken

Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs and cook until browned on all sides, about 6-8 minutes.

6
Simmer the mole

Pour the blended mole sauce over the browned chicken. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer, covered, for 1 hour or until the chicken is tender and cooked through.

7
Shred the chicken

Remove the chicken from the pot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the pot and stir to coat it with the mole sauce.

8
Serve and enjoy

Serve the Mole Con Pollo over steamed rice. Enjoy the rich and flavorful Mexican dish!
