Pollo Oaxaca image

The southern region of Oaxaca, Mexico is known as the land of siete moles or seven moles. I developed this chicken dish using the herbs and tomatillos needing to be used up. This is also known as a verde mole. It's an interesting taste difference using the mole both cooked and in the raw form in this dish. Serve alongside a Mexican style rice and a green salad.

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 pounds chicken, cut into pieces

2 jalapeno pepper, seeds and ribs removed

Steps:

  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the chicken, and season with oregano, minced garlic, and salt and pepper. Cook and stir until the chicken is lightly browned. Stir in the onion, then cover and reduce heat to low.

I would have liked the sauce to be a little bit spicier, but that's just my personal preference.
