OMG! I just made this today and it's delicious! A couple of things I did just because I had the ingredients in the house. I used 1 can of fire roasted diced tomatoes, I used dried chipotle peppers that I soaked in heated chicken broth I was going to use for the dish, I used 1 tablespoon of chile powder/cocoa powder blend and 1 tablespoon of chile powder, used red pepper instead of green, used 3 large chicken breast, used a little bit extra chocolate and I just pureed the whole thing after cooking it. After it finished cooking in the oven, i shredded the chicken and put it back in the sauce. Served it with yellow rice and and corn tortillas! WOW! It was fantastic and probably will taste better tomorrow should there be any leftovers. My family loved it! Thanks Paula!

Even my picky teenage son liked this. We will be enjoying this many more times in our home. The only change I made was using a can of fire roasted tomatoes and I plan to use at least one more chopped chipotle pepper since we like a bit of heat.
