Authentic Chicken Mole Recipe: Easy and Delicious!

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 (3 pound) chicken, cut into pieces
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cloves
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.13 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 2 teaspoons brown sugar
• 0.25 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 0.25 cup raisins
• 2 tablespoons sesame seeds

Instructions

1. Heat vegetable oil in a Dutch oven or large pot over medium-high heat for optimal results. Brown chicken pieces on all sides until golden, approximately 10 minutes. Remove chicken from the pot and set aside. Reduce heat to medium, then stir in paprika, cloves, cinnamon, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and bay leaf. Cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add onion and garlic and cook, stirring until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
2. Stir in the diced tomatoes, chicken broth, and brown sugar. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-high heat. Once simmering, stir in chocolate chips until fully melted, then return the browned chicken pieces to the pot. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover the pot, and simmer until chicken is tender and cooked through (no longer pink at the bone), approximately 15 to 20 minutes. Stir in raisins during the last 3 minutes of cooking. Before serving, sprinkle generously with sesame seeds for added flavor and texture.
