Toast sesame seeds in a wide nonstick frying pan over medium heat until

To pan, add onion, garlic, banana, prunes, raisins, peanut butter and 3
tablespoons water. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, until mixture is
richly browned (10-15 minutes); if pan appears dry, add 1 tablespoon of
water at a time. Stir in cocoa, chili powder, sugar, cinnamon, corinader,
cumin, cloves, anise seeds, and 3/4 cup of the broth. Bring mixture to a
boil over medium-high heat.
Transfer onion mixture to a food processor or blender and add tomato paste,
2 teaspoons of the sesame seeds, and a little of the remaining broth. Whirl
until smoothly pureed; then stir in remaining broth. Cover and keep warm.
Or, if made ahead, let cool; then cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
Reheat before continuing.
While onion mixture is browning, rinse chicken and pat dry. Place jelly in
a bowl and stir to soften; add chicken and mix to coat. Then place chicken
in a lightly oiled 10-by-15-inch rimmed baking pan. Bake in a 450 degree
oven until meat is thickest part is no longer pink; cut to test (12 to

seeds. Season to taste with salt; serve with lime wedges.
