The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

Chicken mole is traditionally a slow cooked dish but this version speeds up the process without sacrificing flavor in the savory chocolate-tomato sauce.

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves, pounded 1/2-inch thick
1 can (16 ounce size) tomato sauce
1/2 cup picante sauce
4 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1 dash ground cloves
1 dash ground nutmeg
1 dash ground allspice
sesame seeds, optional
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 2 minutes per side. Drain off any excess grease.
Combine the tomato sauce, picante sauce, cocoa powder, cumin, oregano, garlic salt, cloves, nutmeg, and allspice in a bowl. Pour over the chicken in the skillet.
Bring the sauce to a boil then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover the skillet and let the chicken cook for 10 minutes.
Remove the chicken to a serving plate and cover with foil.
Continue to cook the sauce, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens, about 5 more minutes.
Return the chicken to the skillet and coat in the sauce. Cook until the chicken is done. Serve the chicken coated in the sauce and sprinkled with sesame seeds, if desired.

Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.
