Simple Red Mole Enchiladas with Shredded Chicken

This recipe is the exact opposite of a 30-minute meal. Preparing this dish, along with poaching the chicken and the Classic Mexican Fried Beans (pg 237) took a good 3 hours. And this is a "Simple" mole! But it was delicious.

As long as you're making the accompanying poached chicken, you can use the poaching liquid for the necessary 6 cups of chicken broth. Also, I couldn't find any "Mexican chocolate", so I just used part of an unsweetened Ghiradelli chocolate bar.

This mole takes alot of work and alot of patience. I understand it alot better now that I have been to Mexico and seen it made firsthand. But it is worth it. The extra sauce and be used in alot of different dishes. I like it with eggs or even in a grilled cheese sandwich.
