Mexican Mole Sauce
Posted On September 24, 2014
Chocolate is an amazing thing. And when we think of this delicious, super healthy “super food”, we normally conjure up images of sweets, desserts, and flat out indulgence.
I love this recipe for a number of reasons … the least of which is the fact that this gives one more reason to eat chocolate. This time, however, it is in the form of a SAVORY sauce that you put right over pork or chicken.
You’ll Need:
- Cayenne pepper to taste
- · Freshly ground black pepper
- · 1-1/2 pounds chicken, cubed or cut into strips
- · 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- · 2 tablespoons mild chili powder
- · 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- · 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- · 1-1/2 ounces unsweetened chocolate
- · 4 (14.5-ounce) cans stewed tomatoes
What To Do:
1. In a bowl, combine equal parts cayenne and black pepper to taste. Add chicken and toss gently to coat. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large pot and add chicken. Cook 4 to 5 minutes, or until just cooked through. Remove chicken with a slotted spoon and reserve.

2. Meanwhile, combine chili powder with cumin, cinnamon and more cayenne pepper and black pepper as desired. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in the same pot and add chili powder mix. Stir with a spoon and heat over medium heat until blackened, about 6 to 8 minutes.
3. Reduce heat to low, stir in chocolate, and continue stirring until melted. When chocolate is fully melted, add stewed tomatoes and bring to a boil. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring often. Add chicken and continue cooking until heated through, about 5 minutes. Serve warm.
