Recipe
1.

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Sprinkle chicken on both sides with salt and pepper. Working in batches, add chicken to
pot; saut until lightly browned, adding more oil by tablespoonfuls as needed, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to large bowl.

2.

Return chicken and any juices to pot. Add broth and orange juice; bring just to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and simmer until chicken is tender
and just cooked through, about 25 minutes.

3.

Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons oil in heavy large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onions and saut until golden brown, about 18 minutes. Reduce
heat to medium. Add almonds, garlic, cumin, and coriander. Sautuntil nuts and garlic begin to color, about 2 minutes. Add chiles and stir until beginning
to soften, about 2 minutes.

4.

Using tongs, transfer chicken to large bowl. Pour chicken cooking liquid into saucepan with onion mixture (reserve pot). Add raisins, orange peel, and
oregano to saucepan. Cover and simmer until chiles are very soft, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes. Remove from heat; add chocolate. Let stand
until chocolate melts and sauce mixture cools slightly, about 15 minutes.

5.

Working in small batches, transfer sauce mixture to blender and puree until smooth; return to reserved pot. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper.
Coarsely shred chicken and return to sauce; stir to coat.

Reflection
While doing this project, we went through some struggles, but overall the
project was fun. We chose to do chicken mole because Dia de los Muertos was
coming up and chicken mole is a traditional dish for this holiday in Mexico.
Dating back to the 1600s chicken mole has been a classic dish in many parts of
Mexico, and some consider it Mexicos most popular dish. The legend of
chicken mole goes all the way back to the Aztecs. It is said that Moctezuma,
thinking that the conquistadors were gods gave fed them mole trying to get their
approval. Knowing all of these facts, we knew that we wanted to do chicken mole
for this project because of its historical importance.
