chicken broth

🥗Healthier: homemade broth

💰Cheaper: water with seasonings

mole sauce

🥗Healthier: salsa verde

💰Cheaper: store-bought mole

Salsa verde offers a lighter flavor profile.

Add 5 cups of hot water to a pot and stir in 3 tablespoons of chicken bouillon, adjusting to taste.

Shred the rotisserie chicken and place it into the warm chicken broth to keep it juicy.

In a blender, combine the remaining chicken broth and 1 cup of Doña Maria mole sauce, blending until smooth.

Heat a pan over medium heat and drizzle a little oil to prevent sticking.

Add the blended mole sauce to the pan and bring it to a boil, then reduce to low heat.

Stir the sauce continuously for 10 to 15 minutes, adding more warm water and chicken bouillon if needed to reach desired consistency.
