Ingredients:  
6 big chicken breast about 5 lb., cut into 12 pieces
3 garlic cloves
¼ white onion
1 Celery stick
2 Parsley or Cilantro sprigs
8 cups of water
Salt to taste


FOR THE MOLE SAUCE
5 oz. tomatoes
1 white onion cut into thick slices
1 small garlic clove
4-5 Cups chicken broth
1 toasted corn tortilla*
1 jar 8.25 oz. DOÑA MARÍA® Mole
½ tablet Mexican Chocolate**
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Salt to taste
¼ teaspoon ground anise seed
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds to garnish
Directions:
Directions:
While the chicken is cooking, place the tomato, onion, and garlic in a saucepan. Cover with water and turn the heat to medium-high. Once it comes to a rolling boil, reduce the heat and cook for 8 minutes or until the tomatoes are cooked.
Once the tomatoes are cooked, drain the water and place the tomatoes, onion, garlic, and the toasted tortilla in your blender. Process until you have a fine sauce, then set aside.
Place a large frying pan over low heat and add the jar of DOÑA MARÍA® Mole and a cup of the chicken broth to start diluting the paste.
Add one more cup of the broth along with the tomato sauce, chocolate, ground cinnamon, and ground anise seed. Stir well until the Mole paste has completely dissolved. Add more broth as needed, since the paste will get thicker as it continues cooking.
Some people like their sauce thicker than others, regulate the amount of chicken broth used in order to achieve the thickness you like. Traditional Mole sauce has the consistency of a thick gravy.

Add the chicken pieces to the sauce, season with salt, and slowly simmer for about 5 more minutes.

Serve with rice and warm corn tortillas. Enjoy!
