Let me spare you the Google search and tell you that Mole (pronounced moh-lay) is actually a Mexican sauce! Mole derives from the Aztec word *molli*, or "sauce." It's typically a thick, rich sauce that has been popularized in American culture to feature chocolate (although the traditional Mexican Mole has over 30 different combinations). This recipe in particular calls for a Mole sauce made with chocolate, spicy jabanero, chili's, spices and herbs to drizzle on top of chicken.  Don't be scared at the thought of chocolate being on top of chicken - trust me, this is a delicacy that you and your kids will LOVE! Here are my tips and tricks for making this at home: ![cg chef invitational-25](https://berrybuzz.calgiant.com/hs-fs/hubfs/2019%20Chef%20Invitational%20Recipes/Blueberry%20Mole/cg%20chef%20invitational-25.jpg?width=600&name=cg%20chef%20invitational-25.jpg)Yes, the chicken doesn't look like chicken at the very end - but that's because we've got that spicy, sweet and salty mixture of the Mole sauce on top! I'm telling you, this sauce *makes* the entire dish. I like to think of this recipe as an all-in-one, meaning that you've got your sweet, spicy and salty fix with each small dish combined onto one plate. No one's leaving your table on an empty stomach with this dinner! ![cg chef invitational-18](https://berrybuzz.calgiant.com/hs-fs/hubfs/2019%20Chef%20Invitational%20Recipes/Blueberry%20Mole/cg%20chef%20invitational-18.jpg?width=600&name=cg%20chef%20invitational-18.jpg)Let's not forget these sweet, juicy berries. This berry salsa is the "berry" on top, if you will, that gives that eclectic Mexican flavor. With a squeeze of a lime and a tablespoon of honey, this isn't a salsa you can find at any restaurant!  ![cg chef invitational-16](https://berrybuzz.calgiant.com/hs-fs/hubfs/2019%20Chef%20Invitational%20Recipes/Blueberry%20Mole/cg%20chef%20invitational-16.jpg?width=600&name=cg%20chef%20invitational-16.jpg)Oh my goodness, the masa corn cakes... I definitely had to hide a few from the family for a late-night treat. Ssh! These are so simple and easy to make that the kids (or little sous chefs, as I call mine!) can get involved.  How are you making this dish at home?
