  • In a large pot, cook the chicken in water with 1/2 onion, 2 garlic cloves, and 1 tablespoon of salt. Boil for 40 minutes or until the chicken is well cooked. Remove the chicken from the broth and save the broth for the sauce.
  • Toast the chiles (ancho and guajillo) on a griddle and then soak in hot water for 20 minutes.
  • Finely chop the other half of the onion and the garlic cloves and toast on the griddle. Also toast the oregano, cinnamon, and pepper. You will get an aromatic smell.
  • Place all the griddle ingredients in a blender with 1/2 cup of chicken broth and blend. Add the chiles and finish blending. Strain through a sieve and place in a deep container.
  • Now blend the tomatoes, strain, and add to the container with the chili sauce.
  • In a large skillet, melt the butter and cook the chili and tomato puree there. Cook over medium heat for 15 minutes.
  • In the blender, now puree the almonds, bananas, sesame seeds, raisins, and 1 cup of chicken broth.
