Make the filling* Soak the dry corn husks in water for 30-60 minutes while you prepare the filling. Cook the chicken breasts in a heated skillet and shred finely. Then, in a food processor, pulse the tomatoes, onion, garlic, green chili, cumin, oregano, and ¾ cup broth into a smooth sauce. Add the sauce to the chicken, season with salt and pepper, and simmer for 10 minutes until slightly thickened. *2. Make the masa* Add the masa harina (corn flour), baking powder, salt, and lard to a large mixing bowl and mix together by hand. Gradually stir in 2½ cups of broth until the dough softens and comes together in a sticky paste. *3. Assemble & cook the tamales* Lay the soaked corn husks flat and spread a heaping spoonful of masa on each one. Fill the center with chicken filling and fold in the sides, bottom, and top of the corn husk into a small package. Steam the tamales for 1½ hours, unwrap, and enjoy! __________________________________________ *Scrumdiddlyumptious brings you creative recipes & cooking hacks every day, so be sure to like, follow, and subscribe for inspiring new ideas.
