Warm the Broth:
Heat a portion of the chicken broth.

Mexican chocolate rounds the deep chile notes of prepared mole paste as the sauce simmers smooth. Orange juice adds a quiet brightness that cuts through its richness.
Mole is dangerous in the best possible way: sweet, spicy, rich, and very hard to leave alone. This easy pot starts with mole paste, then brings in Mexican chocolate and orange juice for a smooth sauce with a little brightness. Spoon it over chicken and have some rice ready for whatever runs off. Roasted vegetables are fair game, too. It's a good way into mole, and a very good reason to keep another tortilla within reach.

Heat a portion of the chicken broth.

Whisk the mole paste into the warm broth.

Stir until completely melted.

Blend the bread and orange juice until smooth.

Combine everything and simmer until rich and silky.
