Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Toast sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat, shaking occasionally, until fragrant and light golden, about 2 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Transfer seeds to a plate. Add a drizzle of olive oil and onion halves to the skillet, cook until softened and lightly browned, about 3 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Pour in the jarred mole sauce and broth, stir until smooth and no lumps remain.

  4. Step 4

    Add shredded chicken and simmer, stirring occasionally, until heated through and sauce thickens slightly, about 5 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Squeeze lime juice over the top, taste, and adjust salt if needed.

  6. Step 6

    Serve over rice or with warm tortillas. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and cilantro.
