Slow-roasted chicken thighs are topped with Chef Akhtar's fresh take on a Mexican black mole sauce. This mole is rich and complex, with layers of flavor from dried chilis, spices, onions, garlic and dark chocolate. The mole-topped chicken is served alongside a light and fresh quinoa salad full of peppers, zucchini, and corn.
