Step 1
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the 1 cup chicken broth and 0.5 cup mole negro paste. Whisk until smooth and bring to a simmer, about 3-4 minutes, until the sauce thickens slightly and is fragrant.
Step 2
Add the 2 cups shredded cooked chicken to the sauce. Stir to coat and cook for 5-7 minutes, until the chicken is heated through and the sauce clings to it.
Step 3
Serve the mole chicken in bowls. Top each with the 0.25 cup crumbled cotija cheese and 2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves. Enjoy warm.
