    1/2 cup diced fresh tomatoes
    1/4 cup chopped onion
    1 can (4 oz.) green chilies
    2 tablespoons blanched almonds
    2 tablespoons raisins
    corn tortillas
    2-3 tablespoons sesame seeds, divided
    1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
    1 clove garlic, minced
    dash salt and pepper
    1/8 teaspoon ground anise seed
    1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
    1/8 teaspoon ground coriander seed
    1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    2 ounces Mexican chocolate (see substitution)*

    Recipe



    In blender, combine 1-cup chicken broth, tomatoes, onion, green chilies, almonds, raisins, 1/2 6-inch corn tortilla, 1-tablespoon sesame seeds, crushed red pepper, garlic, dash salt and pepper, anise seed, cloves, coriander and cinnamon. Blend until smooth. Pour into heavy skillet with a lid. Melt chocolate and stir into sauce. Cover pan with a lid and simmer 20-30 minutes.

    Grill or broil chicken until cooked through (note: may cover chicken with water and stew with onion, salt and pepper, rather than grilling, if desired). Stir additional 1/2 cup chicken broth into mole sauce, to thin to desired thickness. Place chicken in mole sauce, cover with lid and simmer 20-30 minutes.

    Arrange chicken on serving plate, spoon mole over chicken. Garnish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and cilantro. Serve with corn tortillas. Serve 4-6.

    * NOTE: Mexican chocolate may be substituted with 2-ounces semisweet chocolate, 1-teaspoon cinnamon and two drops almond extract.
