Chicken Mole

Ingredients:

• 3 tbsp oil
• 2 1/2 lbs chicken pieces
• 2 tbsp minced garlic
• 3/4 cup diced onion
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup crushed tomatoes
• 1 tsp epazote
• 1 tbsp Mexican oregano
• 3 tbsp ancho powder
• 2 tbsp chipotle powder
• 1/2 tsp ground cloves
• 1 tbsp cocoa powder
• 1/2 tsp canella
• 1/4 cup shelled almonds

Preparation:

Heat the oil in a large, lidded skillet and brown the chicken pieces.

Add all other ingredients, bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat and simmer until chicken is done, about 30 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.

Place the cooking liquid in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.

Return the sauce to the skillet, replace the chicken and cook everything together another 10 minutes. Serve with tortillas, rice and beans.
