Nancy I'm really glad I found you recipe. My children were very surprise with the combination chicken and chocolate and they loved it!<br/>I used powdered unsweetened cacoa and chile paste (I did not have the dry one).<br/>For the paste preparation I placed the chopped ingredients in a high plastic bowl and I used the blender. It s was easy and fast.<br/>I did hot have whole chicken and I used breasts which I broiled while I was broiling the vegetables.<br/>I also placed one breast (in 1 inch pieces) in the sauce to see how it would be if I wood cook it directly in the sauce: it was delicious and jucy as well.<br/>I served it with broiled mixed vegetables which I had at home, simply coated with olive oil, Recipe #456146 and some salt. <br/>We had Recipe #254008 which was delicious with the sauce.<br/>Thanks a lot again for this fantastic dinner!
