Chicken Mole

I love the Mexican food I grew up with but I don't like to spend a lot of time cooking so I'm always trying to change the recipes for a quicker cook time. Recently I decided to try shortening the time to make chicken mole and came up with this recipe which turned out really good. It still uses a lot of the basics from my mothers recipe but doesn't take as long to make.

1/2 c. flour
1/4 c. oil
1 sm. pkg. chili powder
2 cans chicken broth
1 envelope chili mix
1 tsp. cumin
1/4 tsp. garlic salt
1 block Mexican chocolate (cut into small pieces)
6-8 chicken breast halves, boneless and skinless

Fry the flour in the 1/4 cup oil for 3-4 minutes on medium heat. Add the chili powder and cook slowly for 1-2 minutes. Add the chicken broth, chili mix, garlic salt and chocolate. Add chicken breasts and simmer for 45 minutes over medium to low heat. Stir often.

Serve with Spanish rice, refried beans, tortillas and Enjoy!
