Step 1
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a skillet over medium. Add onion slices, cook until golden and crispy, ~4 minutes. Set aside.
Step 2
In the same skillet, whisk masa harina with 2 cups broth until smooth. Stir constantly over medium heat until it thickens into a loose porridge, ~5 minutes.
Step 3
Add shredded chicken and mole sauce to the masa. Stir until combined and heated through, about 2 minutes. It should be pourable but thick.
Step 4
Divide masa-mole mixture among bowls. Top with crispy onions and cilantro. Serve immediately.
