The chicken is cooked in a rich, flavorful sauce made from cocoa powder, peanut butter, and a variety of spices like garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg, making it a dish that's packed with bold, complex flavors. Serve it up with some warm tortillas and enjoy this classic meal with family and friends!
