Serves 4
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350°. Heat a deep, ovenproof skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add chicken pieces, and cook until brown on all sides, about 20 minutes. Season chicken with 1 teaspoon salt and pepper. Cover pan with lid and place in oven 20 to 30 minutes, until chicken juices run clear.
Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, combine mole sauce, enchilada or tomato sauce, and chicken broth, beginning with 1/2 cup. Add more as needed to adjust consistency and flavor. Heat to boiling; reduce heat to simmer. Stir in peanut butter, chocolate and sugar. Cook and stir until chocolate is melted, about 5 minutes. Continue simmering 10 minutes longer. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste. If sauce seems too thick, add just enough water or chicken stock to thin to desired consistency.
Remove chicken from oven and pour sauce over chicken. Reduce oven to 300°. Return chicken to oven, covered, and bake for 30 to 40 minutes or until chicken is tender, almost falling off the bone.
Serve with white or Mexican Rice or tortillas. This recipe doubles easily.
