Chicken & Chocolate?
I'm talking about Mole. Try making your own- it's not that hard!
Use bone-in, skin on chicken breasts to ensure a more moist meat (you don't have to eat the skin; leave it on while cooking and then discard if you don't fancy it!).
In a saucepan, combine minced onion, and saute in olive oil. Add chili powder, cinnamon, cloves and some garlic. Then the cacao, some broth and almond butter. Taste along the way to trouble shoot and customize according to your palate.
Let it thicken a bit, then whiz in the blender.
Pour on top of chicken in a baking dish, then cook til internal temp reaches 160.
Who ever said chicken breasts had to be boring?
