Ingredients

Method

Season chicken with salt and pepper. Place chicken in large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer until chicken is
no longer pink inside, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer chicken to cutting board and let stand for 5 minutes. Using two forks, shred chicken; set aside. 

Meanwhile, in separate saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, and jalapeño, if using; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 8 to
10 minutes. Add chili powder, coriander, cinnamon and oregano; cook, stirring constantly, about 30 seconds. Stir in passata, broth, raisins and almonds.
Season with salt and bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat; stir in chocolate until melted. Transfer mixture to blender; purée until smooth. 

In serving bowl, mix reserved pulled chicken with mole sauce. (Make-­ahead: Can be stored in airtight container and refrigerated for up to 2 days or frozen for up to 3 months.) Spoon chicken mole onto hot tortillas and top with Lime-Marinated Slaw, sliced onion, feta and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges, if using.
