Instructions

In a large heavy duty skillet (enamel cast iron works great), heat the olive oil, onions, garlic cloves, salt and pepper over medium heat. Saute for 3-4 minutes until they are softened.
Add in the adobo sauce, chipotle pepper, roasted tomatoes, green chiles and tahini. Stir to combine and cook for 10 minutes (stirring occasionally).
Pour everything into a blender. Blend until smooth.
Add it back into the skillet. Add in the chicken broth, chili powder, paprika, cinnamon and chicken. Using tongs nestle the chicken into the sauce and bring up to a simmer. Let the chicken and sauce simmer while you do step 5.
Meanwhile, start cooking the rice. Combine 2 cups water, a pinch of salt and the rice into a small saucepot with a lid. Bring to a boil, then turn to low and let simmer for 14 minutes.
When the rice is finished cooking, turn the heat off and remove the lid. At the same time, turn the chicken heat off.
Add the lime zest, juice and butter to the rice. With a fork fluff it up while combining the ingredients.
Add in the chocolate to the chicken and let it melt. Stir to completely combine everything.
When ready to serve, add the sesame seeds, scallions and roma tomatoes as a garnish.
