MOLE MADE EASY: Only 3 Ingredients & a jar of Doña Maria Sauce

chocolate

🥗Healthier: dark chocolate

💰Cheaper: cocoa powder

Dark chocolate enhances flavor while reducing sugar content.

almonds

🥗Healthier: walnuts

💰Cheaper: sunflower seeds

Walnuts provide healthy fats and are often more affordable.

chicken broth

🥗Healthier: homemade broth

💰Cheaper: water with seasonings

Homemade broth is fresher and can be made with scraps.

mole sauce

🥗Healthier: salsa verde

💰Cheaper: store-bought mole

Salsa verde offers a lighter flavor profile.

Open the jar of Doña Maria mole sauce using a can opener.

Pour the mole sauce into a saucepan set to low heat.

Use a butter knife to scrape out the mole sauce from the jar.

Add 4 cups of chicken broth to the saucepan and turn the heat to medium-high.

Stir the mixture to dissolve the mole sauce into the broth, using a wooden spoon.

Break up the Mexican chocolate with a knife, optionally starting with half a tablet to taste.

Add the chocolate to the saucepan once the mole is dissolved and stir until melted.

Add 2 tablespoons of peanut butter to the sauce and stir until melted and combined.

Lower the heat and let the sauce simmer for about five minutes.

Add shredded chicken directly into the saucepan or pour the mole sauce over the food.
