Chicken Mole is a very popular food in Mexico. While this recipe is for standard Chicken Mole, Chicken Mole can also be made by simply adding a good amount of chili powder to the classic "Chicken and Dumplings" that is so popular in the southern part of the USA.

[edit] Ingredients

4-5 lbs chicken
3 quarts water
1 1/2 - 3 cups flour
1/4 cup Gebhardts Chili Powder (Not all chili powders are created equal, Gebhardts Chili Powder is highly recommend!)

[edit] Steps

Cut up the chicken and boil in water for 30 minutes or more in a 5 quart pot. (you may de-bone the chicken if desired)
When the chicken nears being done, put 1/2 cup of white flour into a blender with 1/2 cup water and blend. While blending, add 1/2 cup of white flour, a little at a time, then 1/2 cup more water until well blended.
In a bowl, add 2 cups of the chicken broth from the pot, whip broth while pouring in the blended mixture.
Pour this mixture into the pot of boiling chicken.
Add 1/5 cup Gebhardt's chili powder to the pot of boiling chicken. (More or Less Chili Powder according to taste)
If you desire the Chicken Mole to be thicker, simply repeat steps 2, 3, and 4...using only 1/2 the amount at a time.
Simmer for about 10 minutes.

[edit] Tips

Serve with refried beans, tortillas, and chili sauce (see below).Chili Sauce: In a blender, blend in 1 whole tomato, 1 jalapeño pepper, and 1/2 tsp salt until smooth. (You can add more jalapeños for more heat or more tomato for less heat.)
