Quick Chicken Mole (The Associated Press, 3/02/08)

2 tablespoons canola or vegetable oil

1 medium onion, diced

6 garlic cloves, minced

1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

1 tablespoon cocoa powder

1 cup smooth almond butter

1 cup canned crushed tomatoes

2 cups chicken broth

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 slice white bread, cut into small pieces

1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2 inch chunks

In a Dutch oven over medium-high heat, combine the oil, onion, garlic, cloves, cinnamon, black pepper, red pepper flakes and cocoa powder. Saute 5 minutes.

Add the almond butter and mix until it melts into the other ingredients. Add the tomatoes, broth, salt and bread and bring to a simmer. Add the chicken and return to a simmer.

Cover and cook 12 to 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
