1

In a large bowl, mix masa harina, baking powder, and salt.

In another bowl, beat lard or shortening until fluffy, then gradually add masa mixture and chicken broth until a soft dough forms.

In a separate bowl, combine shredded chicken, salsa verde, onions, and cilantro to make the filling.

Take a soaked corn husk, spread about 1/4 cup of masa dough on the husk, leaving space at the edges.

Place 1-2 tablespoons of the chicken filling in the center of the masa.

6

Fold the sides of the husk over the filling, then fold the bottom up to secure the tamale.

Place tamales upright in a steamer pot, cover with a damp cloth, and steam for about 1-1.5 hours until masa is firm.
