I love the combination of flavors in this dish. The lime marinade gives the chicken a bright and citrusy flavor, while the mole sauce adds a rich and savory flavor.

This dish was a hit with my family! The chicken was moist and flavorful, and the polenta was creamy and cheesy. The mole sauce was the perfect finishing touch, adding a rich and complex flavor to the dish.
