Bring to a boil over medium heat and boil for 15 minutes to re-hydrate the pods. When done, drain of all liquid and set aside. When chicken is done drain of all liquid and set aside onions and garlic. Shred or chop chicken, whatever you prefer. Place remaining onion, 4 garlic cloves, jalapenos and cooked onion/garlic mixture into a food processor. Chop until fine. Return pot to stove and add 2 tbsp of olive oil.Over medium heat sautee onion, garlic and jalapeno mixture for 3 minutes. Add shredded chicken to the pan and brown for 3-5 minutesWhile the vegetables and chicken are cooking add the drained chili pods to the food processor and liquify. Sprinkle chicken mixture with cumin, chili powder, cayenne pepper and oregano. Mix thoroughly. Add liquified chili pods to mixture. Add chicken broth. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer and cook for 4-6 hours or more. The more time you cook the better the flavor.
