South Beach Chicken Mole Recipe


Submitted by rainhana

Makes 4 servings


Found in the South Beach cookbook--funny thing is, SB says it's 431 calories per serving and CC says 554. Who to believe? Also, I used almond butter instead of peanut butter, because I like it better and it was on hand. :P

Ingredients
2 1/2 lbs chicken (breast)
1/8 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Ground black pepper
1 large onion, chopped
1 large bell pepper, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp chili powder
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground cloves
14 1/2 oz
2 tbsp almond butter
2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
Directions
  1. Sprinkle the chicken with salt and black pepper.

  2. Heat a large nonstick skillet coated with olive oil cooking spray over medium-high heat.

  3. Add the chicken and cook for 8 minutes, turning once, or until browned on both sides.

  4. Remove the chicken to a large plate.

  5. Add the onion, bell pepper, and garlic to the skillet and cook for 3 minutes, or until the onion becomes translucent.

  6. Stir in the chili powder, cinnamon, and cloves and cook for 1 minute.

  7. Return the chicken to the skillet. Add the tomatoes (with juice), peanut butter, and cocoa powder and bring to a boil.

  8. Cover and simmer, stirring every few minutes, for 25 minutes, turning once, or until the chicken is no longer pink.
