In a pot with water, cook the chicken along with the onion and garlic until cooked, about 30 minutes. Set aside. Fry the chiles over very low heat in a clay pot with oil. Set aside. In the same pot, sauté the garlic, onion, tomato, almonds, and raisins over low heat. Give each ingredient time, around 5 to 10 minutes each, making sure they don't burn. On the other hand, in a skillet over low heat, toast the cinnamon, cumin, clove, pepper, and sesame seeds. Blend the chiles with the almond mixture, the spices, and a little broth until a paste is obtained. Fry the pasta in the same clay pot with a little oil and gradually add the broth throughout the cooking process. Cook for one hour or until the fat is released. Add the chicken breasts, sugar, and salt and cook for an additional 10 to 20 minutes. Serve the chicken breasts with the almond mole and garnish with toasted sesame seeds. Accompany with Mexican rice.
