In a separate bowl, combine the 28 oz crushed tomatoes, 4 oz chilies, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon sugar, the chopped onion, and minced garlic. Stir everything together until well combined.
Pour this sauce mixture over the chicken breasts in the slow cooker.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 8 hours. The chicken should be incredibly tender, falling apart easily when you touch it.
Once cooked, use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the sauce. Stir in the 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar and the 1/2 ounce cut-up chocolate, mixing until the chocolate has melted completely into the sauce.
