 Directions

Arrange chiles on a large baking sheet and bake in a 350 degree oven until
chiles smell toasted (about 10 minutes). Discared stems and seeds; grind
chiles to a powder in a blender (or substitute 1/4 cup ground chile powder
for roasted, ground chiles.)

To blender, add almonds, banana, cinammon, garlic, tortillas, sesame seeds,
pine nuts and 1 cup of the chicken broth. Whirl until pureed. (Sauce will
be grainy.)

Pour into a pan; add butter or margarine, chocolate, and remaining chicken

NOTES : Side Note: "mole" refers to a whole category of sauces; mole
polblano always includes its signature ingredient: chocolate. A green mole,
made with tomatillos, is also declicious with chicken.
