4. Allow the chilies and toasted bread and tortillas to soak, fully submerged, in the chicken broth until softened, about 10 minutes. Blend the mixture until smooth.

5. Cook tomatoes and tomatillos in a dry skillet on medium-high heat until soft and blackened, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Place tomatoes in the blender with the chili puree.

We realize that this may not be a traditional barbecue recipe but we couldn't resist having it on our pages.  We traveled to Mexico one year after working around Nogales, Arizona we gathered our crew and ended up at a restaurant somewhat near to the border.  The odd thing while in the restaurant I heard a voice I hadn't heard in years and lo and behold it was a guy I'd work with about 5 years earlier.  We talked over old times and each had the Chicken in Mole and the meal was wonderful. The meal was so good that I decided to get their recipe and place it on our site for the adventurous.  If you like a challenge and the results of a really great meal then try this Chicken in Mole Sauce you won't regret it.
