2 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted
4 pitted prunes, cut into small pieces
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic (large), thinly sliced
1 (6- to 7-inch) corn tortilla, quartered
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano (Mexican variety preferred), crumbled
1/4 cup red wine
1 ounce mexican chocolate, , (such as Ibarra)

Steps:

1. Cut each chicken breast crosswise into 3 pieces and put in a large saucepan. Add the broth, and cook, covered, over medium heat until tender, about 10 minutes. Let the chicken cool in the broth. 2. Meanwhile, toast the chiles then soak them in hot tap water 25 minutes. Toast the sesame seeds. Drain the chiles and discard the water. Put the chiles, sesame seeds, prunes, orange juice, crushed pepper, and allspice in a blender. Reserve. 3. In a small skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium heat and fry the onion, garlic, tortilla, and oregano, stirring, until they start to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. 4. Transfer onion mixture to the blender. Add the wine and 1 1/2 cups of the chicken broth from cooking the chicken. Blend as smoothly as possible, then pour through a fine-mesh strainer into a large bowl, pressing with a wooden spoon to extract the soft pulp and juice. Discard the debris. 5. In a large saucepan, heat the remaining tablespoon of oil over medium heat until it shimmers. Gently add the chile mixture (to minimize splattering). Cook, stirring, 1 minute. (If the sauce is too thick, add hot chicken broth to reach the desired consistency.) Add the chocolate. Reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer, stirring frequently, until the chocolate melts and the flavors blend, about 15 minutes. Add the chicken. Bring to a simmer and cook 3 to 4 minutes. Serve hot.From "1,000 Mexican Recipes." Copyright 2001 by Marge Poore. Used with permission of the publisher, Wiley Publishing, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
