Pollo (chicken) Mole Mexicano - Chocolate Sauce!

For chocolate lovers ( aficionados ) One of the best uses for this 'food of the Gods' is handed down from the Aztecs [ I believe] in the form of Mexican Chocolate Mole that is used to dress chicken. I ate this for the first time in Mexico and instantly fell in love with the dish. The slightly bitter sweet and spicy Mole sauce, pretty much overwhelms a subtle chicken at first, but as this is a dressing, chicken flavor does emerge with each mouthful. Beans and rice are good accompaniments, but I just prefer to eat Mole alone or with a couple of warm fresh cornflour tortillas as a side. Best beverage chaser is cold water. Note: Don't be tempted to use any chocolate. It will not work. You must use one of a couple of brands of cooking chocolate sold at Latin markets. The right chocolate is heavy on cocoa butter lacks emulsifiers or other additives and is loaded with coarsely granulated sugar. It's edible and usable in drinks but it it shines in preparing Mole. Ole!
Hint- de-bone the chicken and chop the finished breasts into bite sized pieces that can be wrapped in a tortilla.

@haural Por eso lo llama mole rápido! Hay cientos de maneras, mi favorita es con todos los ingredientes naturales, aunque el chocolate es casi imposible de conseguir fresco, se tiene que usar la pastilla, y eso ya es procesado, saludos!!!

U know if u put the chicken in a pot of water and add a bit of salt and onion slices you don't have to buy chicken broth u could just use the broth left after you cook the chicken... Just sayin...
