Cooking Recipe Chicken In Mole Sauce
Recipe Ingredients
Directions
* Flour tortillas should be 7 to 8-inches in diameter and be cut
into
small pieces. ** Chicken breast halves should be boneless and the
total weight should
be about 4 lbs. Cover chile with warm water. Let stand until
softened, about 1 hour. Drain and finely chop. Heat shortening in
3-quart saucepan over medium heat until hot. Cook and stir ground red
chiles in shortening until brown (add about 1/4 t water to prevent
scorching if necessary); cool. Stir in 2 cups of chicken broth. Stir
in remaining ingredients except the remaining 1 cup of broth and
chicken. Heat to boiling; reduce the heat and cover. Simmer 30
minutes, stirring occasionally; cool. Place a small amount of the
sauce into a blender container. Cover and blend on high speed until
smooth. Repeat with the remaining sauce. Heat 1 cup of the sauce and
the remaining chicken broth in a 12-inch skillet; reduce the heat.
Place the chicken, skin sides up, in a single layer in the skillet.
Cover and simmer until done, about 1 hour. Remove chicken to serving
dish and keep warm. Measure the cooking liquid. In skillet combine 1
cup of the cooking liquid with the remaining sauce and heat to
boiling, stirring constantly, and pour over the chicken.
