Easy Green Chicken Tamales Recipe

Ingredients:

• 6 cups Maseca Tamal corn masa flour
• 6 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup cooking oil
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 1/2 large rotisserie chickens, shredded
• 2 cans salsa verde or tomatillo sauce
• 1 bag dried corn husks

Instructions:

1. Soak the corn husks in warm water until soft and pliable.
2. Using an electric mixer, combine the Maseca Tamal flour, cooking oil, salt, baking powder, and chicken broth until a smooth, consistent masa forms.
3. Shred the chicken and mix it with the salsa verde or tomatillo sauce.
4. Spread an even layer of masa over each softened corn husk, then place a spoonful of chicken filling in the center.
5. Fold the sides of the corn husk toward the center so they overlap, then fold the narrow end underneath the tamale.
6. Arrange the tamales upright in the steamer with the open ends facing upward.
7. Steam until the masa is fully cooked and separates easily from the husk. Cooking time will vary depending on tamale size and how tightly the steamer is packed.

Cooking Tip: Check the steamer periodically and make sure there is enough water below the rack. Do not allow the water level to reach the tamales.

Get Creative with Your Fillings

Once you learn the basic technique, you can create many different tamales. Try green chicken, red chile pork, beef, beans, cheese and rajas, vegetables, seafood, or sweet fruit-filled dessert tamales.
