Add chicken and cook, turning once, until browned on both sides, about 5 minutes. Add white onion and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Stir in mole sauce. Reduce heat to maintain a simmer and cook, turning the chicken occasionally, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part registers 165 degrees F, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, combine the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, lime juice, honey, pepper and salt in a medium bowl. Add jicama, mango, red onion and cilantro; toss to combine. Shred the chicken and stir into the sauce. Serve the chicken mixture in tortillas with the slaw and lime wedges, if desired. Tips Tip: Most mole sauce recipes call for a lot of ingredients and end up being a labor of love. We opt for a premade sauce to keep this dish fast. If your grocery store only carries mole paste, whisk 1/4 cup into 3/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth. To make this recipe gluten-free be sure to choose a gluten-free mole sauce (we like Frontera Classic Red Mole).

Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
