directions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a saucepan over medium high heat, stir together mole paste and about half of the broth.
  • Once mixture is smooth, stir in remaining broth and chicken. Heat until simmering.
  • Spray a 9-inch pie plate with non-stick cooking spray. Place two tortillas, overlapping, on bottom of pie plate. (Tortillas won't completely cover the bottom; that's OK.).
  • Top with 1/4 of the chicken and sauce and 1/4 of the cheese. Continue layering, ending with sauce and cheese.
  • Bake about 25 minutes, until cheese is melted and sauce is bubbling. Cut in wedges to serve.

  1. Great idea! I added a layer of cooked rice and some chopped onion to make it go a little farther. Since I added the rice I put a little more broth into the mole (only 1/4 cup) to thin it out a little. I cooked it in my crock pot on low for 3 hours. I think the next time I make it I might add a layer of black beans as well and garnish with cilantro and sour cream. So yummy! I took it to a potluck at my church and everyone raved about it- so thanks for the recipe!!
     
  2. If you like mole, this is a very good dish. Quick and easy. I put nonfat plain yogurt on it in place of sour cream. I also used only 6 corn tortillas using 1 cup of chicken/sauce mixture for layers. I did not find it dry at all.
     
  3. I used my own mole sauce for this recipe. I did mix the shredded chicken with about 1/2c sour cream and about 1/2c shredded cheddar for moistness and flavor. Followed your recipe from there. Very good. Thanks.
     
  4. I can't rate this because this recipe never actually came to completion for me. After making the mole sauce according to directions (using Dona Maria brand mole), I tasted it and I can honestly say that it was one of the most repulsive flavors to have ever crossed my lips. I often get chicken mole from our local Mexican restaurant and I love it, but the store bought stuff was absolutely nothing like what I've had in restaurants. Perhaps a different brand of mole sauce would make a difference.
     
  5. This was a simple and easy to make dish. I had never made a recipe using mole before, I think it's a little bland for my taste. If I make it again, I might consider topping it with some hot enchilada sauce. Thanks!
