Recipe: Chicken Molé for Parties

A favorite at our parties. With everything else you might serve at a party, this is enough for about 50 people. As a stand-alone dinner, this is probably enough for 8-10 people. This recipe is based on one I got from "The Epicentre", though this version is about half as hot. The original version is painfully spicy. This version is just hot.

Ingredients

• 6 tablespoons oil
• 5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 6 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 medium-size yellow onions, minced
• 1 quart chicken broth
• 2 cups tomato puree
• 1 tablespoon epazote
• 2 tablespoons Mexican oregano
• 3 tablespoons ancho chili powder
• 3 tablespoons chipotle powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cloves
• 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 cup shelled almonds, ground

Process

1. Add oil to an 8 quart pan and place over high heat
2. Cut chicken into 3/4 inch cubes
3. Brown chicken cubes in oil
4. Add onions and garlic to chicken and heat until fragrant
5. Add dry ingredients and stir until chicken is coated
6. Add broth and puree
7. Stir thoroughly, sraping sides and bottom of pan
8. Bring to boil
9. Turn down heat and simmer for 3 hours

Serve with rice (about 6 cups cooked should do) and beans (probably about two cans).
