How to Make Lime Grilled Chicken And Polenta With A 1 Mole Sauce A1

  1. Marinate 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs in a medium bowl with 1/4 cup lime juice, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper for at least 1 hour (or up to overnight in the refrigerator).
  2. While chicken marinates, prepare the mole sauce: In a large pan, heat 2 tbsp olive oil over medium heat.
  3. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 4 cloves garlic, minced. Sauté for 5 minutes until softened.
  4. Add 2 serrano peppers, finely chopped (remove seeds for less heat), and 2 pasilla chiles, stemmed and roughly chopped. Sauté for another 3 minutes.
  5. Stir in 2 tbsp chili powder, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, 1 tsp dried oregano, and 1 tsp ground cumin. Cook for 1 minute.
  6. Add 1 cup A.1. Original sauce, 1 (28 oz) can crushed tomatoes, and 1 cup chicken broth to the pan.
  7. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Stir in 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  8. Simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened slightly.
  9. Preheat electric grill to high heat. Lightly spray grill grates with non-stick cooking spray.
  10. Grill chicken thighs for 15-20 minutes, or until cooked through and slightly charred, turning halfway through.
  11. While chicken grills, slice 1 cup cooked polenta crosswise into 8 circles.
  12. Grill polenta slices for 8 minutes per side, or until golden brown and grill marks appear.
  13. Plate the grilled chicken and polenta. Spoon the mole sauce generously over the chicken and polenta.
  14. Garnish with slices of 1 ripe avocado.
