Ingredients
- 3 dried ancho chiles stemmed and seeded
- 1/2 white onion
- 1 unpeeled garlic clove
- 4 cups homemade chicken broth or store bought
- 1 cup shelled pecans
- 6 to 8 pitted prunes about 1/4 cup tightly packed
- 1 teaspoon kosher or sea salt more to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 4- to 5- pound chicken cut up, breasts split and cut in half (10 pieces)
To Prepare
- Heat a comal or small skillet over medium heat, and toast the stemmed, seeded ancho chiles until the skin changes color and the chiles begin to release fumes, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat and add the onion and garlic clove to the comal or skillet. Toast, flipping the onion and garlic clove from side to side, until charred on the outside and softened inside, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the heat, set aside and when cool enough to handle, peel the garlic clove. Alternatively, char the onion and garlic under the broiler. Preheat the broiler with the rack arranged at the highest setting and cover a small sheet pan with foil. Broil the garlic for 5 to 8 minutes, turning halfway through, and the onion for 10 to 12 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Bring the chicken broth to a simmer in a medium saucepan. Add the pecans, prunes and toasted ancho chiles. Simmer for 10 to 12 minutes, until the chiles and prunes have rehydrated and plumped, and the pecans have softened. Set aside and let cool. Transfer to a blender, add the charred onion and garlic, and puree. If your blender is small, do this in batches.
- Season the chicken with the salt and pepper.
- Heat the oil in a large casserole or wide, heavy lidded skillet over medium high heat. Once hot, brown the chicken pieces, in batches, skin side down first then skin side up, until nicely colored, about 4 to 5 minutes on each side. Transfer to a bowl or plate as each batch is done.
- Reduce heat to low, and using the lid of the casserole or pan as a shield for splatters, pour in the pureed pecan sauce. It should bubble and splutter dramatically. Stir well, scraping all the bits up from the bottom of the pan, and return the chicken pieces to the pan. Cover, turn down the heat to medium low, and simmer for 40 minutes, stirring and scraping the bottom of the pan from time to time, until the chicken is completely cooked through and the sauce is thick and delicious. Taste and adjust seasoning.

We love this! Made it the second time last night. I leave out the dates just to cut the carbs a bit and it tastes amazing. Thanks so much.
BTW: your web site is VERY well done. One of the best I’ve seen.

Hi Pati! We cooked this dish and served with caldo de queso and your tangerine chile gran palomas. The pecan and ancho chile sauce is totally unique and delicious. We knew it was going to be good but we were blown away! The caldo de queso too is comforting and delightful. We did add some salt and pepper to the soup and replaced the 1/2 white onion in the chicken recipe with four green onions like you use in the episode. Living in Tucson, AZ we get to enjoy some of the very best that Mexican cuisine has to offer and this dish ranks with the finest! Thank you!

Is this chiken spicy or too hot for some one that does not eat hot staff?
Pati Jinich
Mar 15
Ancho peppers are actually very mild, and in combination with the pecans, this sauce is more sweet than spicy. I hope you’ll give it a chance Imelda 😉

Pati: I watched the show when you made this dish on a ranch! I couldn’t resist making it at home, found it DELICIOUS; and have made it several times since. Your new recipe of the Mushroom, Asparagus enchilada with pine nut Mole sound like a fitting dish to bring to my next Pot Luck gathering. I have learned many great ideas, techniques and recipes since discovering you on my local Create TV channel. Best wishes.

Thank you Pati. I made this last night and it was perfect for a cold night dinner.
The earthiness of the pecans and ancho along with the sweetness of the prunes was amazing. We also made Sami’s smashed potatoes which we have made countless times. Love you and your food Pati.

I’m going to substitute some figs or raisins for the prunes as I don’t have any on hand, and cut up a whole chicken to make this for dinner tonight. We have lots of pecan trees so in addition to using the nuts, we also use the wood to smoke chicken or pork on the grill. Very tasty!
Pati Jinich

Yummy Meg, sounds like a plan to me, I hope you enjoyed your dinner 😉

I made this dinner tonight.
Would love to upload a foto but there doesn’t seem to be a way to do that. I did five cloves of garlic rather one because we love garlic at our house. Also had to sub in dates for the prunes. Since dates are quite sweet, I did a quarter of the amount- just 4 dates (pitted) or barely 1/3 cup. I measured everything else exactly. The sauce is an interesting flavor of sweet at first then spicy with a light hint of smoke at the back end. Next time I make this, I think I’ll reduce the 4 cups broth to two. As it is I only added half the pureed sauce to simmer with the chicken and even after reduction through the 40 minute simmer time it was still a LOT of sauce. Plus I have nearly two cups sitting in my blender. Paired it with cilantro rice and sauteed zucchini. I find I needed to salt the chicken and the zucchini very well for a well-rounded sauce. Overall, pretty good recipe and a nice change from typical spicy or cheesy Mexican recipes and a good recipe for those who dislike tomatoes.

Watched this “show” and am overwhelmed. So want to try this recipe. The first time I ever had Chicken Mole was when my dad made a recipe out of Gourmet Magazine. Um, that was sometime around 1970 and in my neighbourhood another “weird” dinner at our table. Then again, there were many high school friends who got to learn there was more to eating than “white bread”. Imagine duck with cherry sauce on Sunday in midwest suburbia! Looking forward to trying this soooo much. Thank you. Food is so important. The more we know about food, the more we know about ourselves. Hugs!

Thanks

No tomatoes in this recipe Debra, it is all about the anchos, pecans and prunes, enjoy!

Hey Susan, so glad you love this recipe as much as I do! To be honest with you, I would pair this dish with a good Mexican beer instead! Enjoy 😉

After watching this episode, the chicken looked so good that I wanted to try it. So after gathering all the ingredients,
I made it for my family for Sunday dinner and they loved it. The recipe was not hard to follow, and the chicken was tender and flavorful, with so much sauce left over that the my son thought it would taste good on eggs for breakfast. This chicken recipe really was a good as it looks on TV. Glad I made it, because I will definitely make this recipe again.
Pati Jinich
Apr 30
Thanks so much for the review Shelly, so happy the family enjoy this recipe and what a wonderful idea to add the left over sauce to eggs, yum!!!

On the show, you used scallions, not an onion as written in this recipe. Does it matter?
Pati Jinich
Apr 11
Hey Adele, when we filmed the show we were lucky enough to have fresh scallions from the farm so I wanted to take advantage of that, the sauce came out delicious, but a white onion works perfect too. Just don’t forget the charring, it is what brings out the sweet in the ingredients. Enjoy!

My husband’s side of the family is Mexican, and I learned many recipes from his grandmother who passed away at 101 years old! I have spent a fair amount of time in Puebla and Mexico City, and love the myriad of flavors. Unfortunately, I cannot eat cilantro, but found that it was rarely present the further south I visited. I have your books and watch your shows, traveling with you and experimenting with your recipes.. We love fish, chicken, turkey and everything spicy! Where would you suggest we visit next?
Pati Jinich

Thanks so much for reaching out Kathy, love to know that you have been enjoying the books and the show, yay! Have you guys been in Oaxaca? It is a must, do not miss it 😉

Hi, I am looking for a chicken recipe I saw on the show Saturday the 27th of March. I miss the beginning of the show so I don’t know the name of it. You served it with asparagus & a pecan sauce.
Is the Chicken in a pecan sauce w/ancho sauce it?
It looked really good & I would like to try it.
It doesn’t look the same in the photo here but I am not sure.
Please let me know the name of it & where to get the recipe.
Thank-you Connie

Senora Jinich, este platillo estaba tan delicioso. The taste of the sauce mixed with my white rice caused me to close my eyes, sit a bit, and just savor it. It was the Goldilocks of sauces, not too sweet, not too spicy, just right. Thank you for all you do. I am American of Mexican descent on both sides, and cooking authentic Mexican dishes honors all those who came before us. Mil gracias.

I made this chicken dish last Sunday for a couple in our “COVID-19 bubble,” using eight bone-in thighs. The only change made was to add extra Ancho Chile powder and cumin. The guys each had two plates and there were raves all around. Wish folks would understand that ALL Mexican food doesn’t have to be hot and spicy! Served it with recommended rice and sautéed green and yellow squash with plenty of cumin and Ancho Chile powder.
I have a collection of recipes from your shows that will show up in my kitchen soon! Love the format you use, showing cooks in locations, then dishes made in American kitchens! SO approachable!

Pati Jinich
Feb 15
Hi Gloria, thanks so much for reaching out 😉 Although this recipe is meant for pecans, you could go ahead and try almonds. The chiles are not hot, anchos and guajillos are truly more sweet that spicy. Also, here is another recipe for chicken in a mole sauce that does not use pecans and you might like, enjoy! https://patijinich.com/coloradito-chicken-recipe/

I want to ask three questions.
1 could this recipe be considered a mole? I’ve been watching season 6 mole episodes (thank goodness fit Amazon Prime.)
2 are the recipes from the tv show in your cookbooks? I’ve been making so many I think it’s time I bought your books. 😁
3 are season 1 and 2 available to watch anywhere? I’d like to watch them.
Thank you. As noted in a previous comment, I like this r3cipe very much.
Pati Jinich
Feb 10
Hello Stewart, thanks for reaching out. Here my answers to your questions:
1. Yes, this sauce could be considered a mole.
2. Not all of them, especially of the last seasons as the Cookbooks came before. BTW, I have a new book coming out in the fall! If you are interested you could pre order it here: https://www.amazon.com/Pati-Jinich-Treasures-Mexican-Table/dp/0358086760/
3. Not available at the time
So glad you loved this recipe, un abrazo!

Pati,
I really enjoyed this recipe. I used 8 bone in chicken thighs and it was delicious. Very earthy. I’m slightly embarrassed to tell you I used a chefy trick and removed the skin after browning and fried it separately until crispy, like chicharron. Then I garnished the chicken with it. It was great.
Thanks for your show and recipes. I especially liked season 9.

Do you think this dish could be made without the chicken? We only eat some seafood. Have you tried it with shrimp or just served over veggies and rice?
Pati Jinich
Jan 10
Never tried it with shrimp but I am sure it will work, also on top of some snapper or cod. You can serve it on top of rice as well, maybe add potatoes, carrots or mushrooms 😉

Hi Pati, I just wanted to say thank you for this recipe. I made it today for my family and it turned out perfectly! And it’s great for the cold weather we have in Kentucky right now. I usually cook Persian food for my husband because he is from Iran. But I saw you make this on tv and I had to try it. The Persian people make a stew that is similar called fesanjun. So good.

Hi Lisa, thanks so much for your feedback, so glad the family liked it! It is not the first time I hear this is a bit like Persian Fesanjun, yummy, I will have to try it soon 😉

I made this tonight after seeing your show last weekend. It was delicious. My kids ate it right up, even the picky one! I subbed raisins for prunes since I forgot to buy them at the store, but will definitely make it again and use prunes. Just the right amount of spice! The sauce was just amazing over rice.

Wow this recipe was amazing! Ufff! I used what I had at home and substituted the chiles anchos for chiles California because that’s what was in my pantry and also substituted the whole chicken for chicken thighs that I diced. Thank you so much Pati for sharing your knowledge and this wonderful recipe. It’s truly made a difference during this time of staying at home.
