A little more oats than you would normally use, mash on the high side (154?), keep the gravity down to around 1.045 and hop it like an APA but the oats and mash temp will add mouthfeel. I'd boost the chocolate malt, too, to add more complexity to the flavor.
I really like this idea because it's gonna be a 10 gallon batch so making it lower gravity will mean less grain thus less money I have to spend, yes I'm a cheapskate, you should see my DIY system
