Back in college, I spent a couple of months on a missions trip in the Yucatan peninsula of Mexico. Our team had no money, so we had to learn from the locals how to stretch a dollar. This meal was shown to us by a pastor's wife, and was one of the favorites because it's flavorful and cheap.
Cook lentils in plenty of water for at least 30 minutes. Start rice after 10 minutes. Once lentils are done, mix in a little oil, chicken, onion, garlic and cilantro and saute until chicken is cooked thoroughly. Remove all ingredients and set aside; in same pot, dissolve chicken broth in 2 cups water. Add mole sauce and mix well. Sauce thickens fast--add water if necessary. Add cooked ingredients and simmer until all ingredients are mixed. Keep on low heat or sauce will continue to thicken. Serve with tortillas, over rice.
