Pollo Oaxaca Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Authentic Mexican Recipes. (Pollo Oaxaca Recipe). The southern region of Oaxaca, Mexico is known as the land of siete moles or seven moles. I developed this chicken dish using the herbs and tomatillos needing to be used up. This is also known as a verde mole. It's an interesting taste difference using the mole both cooked and in the raw form in this dish. Serve alongside a Mexican style rice and a green salad.
