Repeat procedure with 1 1/2 teaspoons of oil and remaining chicken. Return chicken to pan; stir in onion and next 5 ingredients (through tomato sauce). Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat, and simmer 20 minutes or until chicken is done. Keep warm.
2. To prepare mofongo, place plantains and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large Dutch oven. Cover with water to 1 inch above plantains; stir to dissolve salt. Let stand 20 minutes. Drain plantains, and return to pan. Cover plantains with water to 1 inch above plantains. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat, and simmer 20 minutes or until tender. Drain plantains; return to pan. Mash plantains with a potato masher. Stir in 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, bacon, garlic, and broth. Shape plantain mixture into 24 (1/2-inch-thick) patties.
