"This is NOT your traditional mole but still has a very authentic "mexican" flavor. I do not like the chocolate in traditional mole recipes and this one adds a bit of peanut butter which makes it more of a "Pollo con Guisada" or Mexican chicken with gravy which I tend to say is a chicken version of "Carne Guisada" or mexican beef/w gravy. I was taught how to make this by a very dear friend about 20 years ago. We have since parted ways and she is no longer in my life but NEVER far from my thoughts and ALWAYS in my heart."

We really enjoyed this mole sauce. It was really easy to make and had a great flavor. Made as directed except that I did not use the cooking liquid -- instead I used organic chicken stock. Served this chicken mole with yellow rice and a side of mixed vegetables. Made for Spring PAC, April, 2013.
