Mole was delicious. I believe that next time I would use shelled pumpkin seeds. Having never eaten pumpkin seeds, I didn't know whether it was necessary to shell them or not. I read the pumpkin seed package and it indicated you could eat them either way, so I left the shells on. Mistake! I ran the mole through a sieve to get the little bits of unedible pumpkin seed shells out. Next time I'll know, and there will be a next time.

This is a very good mole recipe----yes, a true mole. Just like mole VERDE does NOT have chocolate, this one does not eitherr. Have any of you ever noticed MOLE VERDE on a good Mexican restaurant menu? You would absolutely ruin MOLE VERDE by putting chocolate in it. Go ahead and check out some of Rick Bayless's recipes for mole too. Thank you Deb from Sacramento for clarifying the def. of mole. Any Mexican can tell you that. They may have a mole they like w/chocolate, but they know that each mole is different and may or may not have chocolate. SO widen out a little people, try a different mole

Lock you're door, close the shades, turn the radio up, start you're food processor. The Chocolate Police will never know. I tried this recipe and it was fantastic. Who needs chocolate ? Sunny never said this was a" classical Mole".

to those complaining that no chocolate was included, they don't know squat about mole. mole does not equal chocalate. do your research next time. there are many mole recipes in each region and many do not mention chocolate.

It was amazing. Brining the chicken is an absolute must. I thought the radishes sounded a little strange but were so good with the little crunch that they added. I could not locate any pumpkin seeds so i had to leave those out. When i make it again it think I will use 2 jalape?os and one pablano pepper because I'm not a big fan of spicy even though it was not too spicy. Thank you Sunny for this recipe.

P.S. Who cares if its a "'true" mole or not. It's just Sunny's interpretation of a dish that she love.

This is a bit labor-intensive, but sooooo worth it! As others have mentioned it is not a true mole (no chocolate involved but it does have many of the same layers of flavors. The sauce itself is so layered and rich, and then with the brine of the chicken. . . .soooo yummy! Made it for my wife who usually needs a million components and sauces on stuff to enjoy it. All I did was make this recipe (subbed pine nuts for pumpkin seeds and served it on tortillas. We both flipped at the flavor! Thanks, Sunny! Awesome recipe!

Who would have thought pumplins seeds could mean so much. While the preparation of this meal took about two plus hours, there was a blizzard outside, so what else was I going to do. This was outstanding. We had for dinner and again for lunch. There is enough sauce left over, in the freezer, that I'll make it again in two weeks. The best Mexican-style dinner I have ever made. Thank you.

I like spicy foods, but this is outrageously HOT. I ended up serving it without the tortillas, just served it on a dish. I put all of the topping on it except radishes. I ADDED a HUGE DOLLOP of sour cream to help tone down the hotness of the mixture. IF I ever try it again, I will definitely take out the ribs and seeds of the peppers. There are so many good ways to cook chicken that going to all of the trouble of making this is not high on my list of things I want to do before I die.
