Dad's Chicken Mole

All measurements are heaping...NOT level.  Again, as this is one of my dad's recipes, it makes a ton.

Sauce
Ingredients
2 (28 oz. each) cans of tomato sauce
2 (15 oz) cans/boxes of chicken broth
2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
4 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
2 tablespoons powdered chocolate (for chocolate milk - dad suggests Nestle)
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon garlic powder


Preparation 
  1. Mix all ingredients together and bring to a simmer in a large pot. (chicken will be added to the pot later) 
  2. Simmer for 1/2 hour, stirring every 5-10 minutes so nothing sticks.
  3. After 1/2 hour, taste (add seasoning if necessary - If it's bitter: chocolate/cinnamon; If it's bland: salt; If it's too mild, chili powder)
Chicken
Ingredients
8 boneless chicken breasts
1/2 teaspoon each of salt, pepper, garlic powder
Water to cover chicken

Preparation
  1. Bring to a boil, then simmer for approx 1/2 hour.
  2. After cooked thoroughly, remove from water and let cool off.
  3. Shred chicken into 1/2 inch strips, with the grail
  4. Once broken up, put into simmering mole sauce.
  5. Bring to a boil, lower and simmer an additional 45 minutes.
  6. Serve with flour tortillas
