Sweet Mole Sauce for Chicken

Ingredients

8-10 whole chiles (dried or fresh)

6 tbsps vegetable oil

3/4 cup water

2 tsps onion powder

1 clove garlic (diced)

1 Roma tomatoes (medium size, cut into sections)

2 pieces whole wheat bread (toasted, cut into cube)

2 tbsps dates (chopped)

2 tbsps pecans (shelled)

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

1/4 tsp clove

2 oz "Xocai Nuggets," melted

1/4 cup honey

1 dash salt (to taste)

3-4 cups chicken broth

Preparation

Remove stem and seeds from the chilies and fry in oil until tender. In a food processor, blend the chilies and water to form a paste. Add all ingredients except the broth and blend to a thick sauce. If it gets too thick add some of the broth to make it thinner. Transfer the blended sauce into a heavy saucepan and add the rest of the broth. Simmer for 1 1/2 hours until thick and all the flavors are incorporated. May pour sauce over chicken and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
