- Remove chicken from oven and, using a pastry brush, coat the chicken with 1 cup of the mole. Return the chicken to the oven and bake an additional 8 to 10 minutes.
- Allow the chicken to rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving. Serve with the remaining Mole Verde.

Mole Verde Sauce:
- Slice poblano and jalapeno peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds. Heat peppers in a cast iron skillet over high heat until skins start to blister and char.
- In another skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and toast the pine nuts, pumpkin seeds and cashews. Toast until slightly browned and aromatic.
- In a blender, combine the toasted nuts and charred pepper (no need to remove skin) cilantro, chicken broth, lime juice, salt and pepper. Blend until smooth, use more chicken broth as needed. Mole will be slightly chunky and thick.
