Heat 1 tablespoon oil in large skillet, and brown chicken pieces over medium-high heat. Remove and set aside. Add remaining tablespoon of oil to skillet, and saut? onion, pepper and garlic 3 to 5 minutes.

In food processor or blender, finely grind almonds, raisins and sesame seeds to paste. Add mixture to vegetables, along with 1/2 cup of broth, tomato sauce, chocolate, Tabasco sauce, cinnamon and allspice. Cook, stirring, until chocolate melts.
