Mole Chicken

Never personally tried this recipe but I have done a few of her other ones, they are all very solid.

o answer your question, it is a difficult sauce to make and the ingredients are uncommon.

Former is true but most Mexican stores will carry whatever you need.

It's one of those dishes that as a gringo you are absolutely going to mess up, not unlike people destroying a gumbo outside of south la.

We had some neighbors and the wife was Hispanic, note I live in TX. Anyway, she taught me to just buy the jar stuff at the store, add some of the broth from poaching the chicken, pieces of bread until it thickens to how you want, and here comes the weird part, about a tablespoon of peanut butter. This was how her mother made it also. It's obviously not the authentic way, but there's never any left when I serve it, and I've even served it to other Hispanics.

This is the whitest post I've ever seen on The Food Board. Served it to other Hispanics you say? Well got damn.

Offshore Angler and SuperSaint,
Yes, I'm white, so guilty as charged. The OP asked for a way that was easy to prepare, which is exactly what I gave him. The point I was attempting to make was that I had in fact made it this way before and people of Hispanic descent still enjoyed it when prepared this way. The more traditional recipes take longer and sometimes I just don't have the time. No, I don't feel bad for providing an alternative way. I hope you keyboard ninjas have a happy 4th! C-bear
