Mole is a thick, rich, and spicy Mexican sauce traditionally made from a
blend of chiles, ground seeds or nuts, spices, and a small amount of
unsweetened chocolate. We've adapted the traditional mole sauce, using
supermarket ingredients. Serve with rice.

1. Prepare Mole Sauce: In blender at high speed or in food processor
with knife blade attached, blend all sauce ingredients until smooth.

2. In nonstick 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat, heat olive oil.
Add chicken and cook until golden; remove to plate.

3. To skillet, add Mole Sauce, chopped chocolate, and 1/4 cup water;
cook, stirring, until chocolate melts. Return chicken to skillet; heat to
boiling. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 30 to 35 minutes until juices
run clear when chicken is pierced with tip of knife. Sprinkle with cilantro
to serve.
