Make It Now Cooking Directions
These directions are for cooking this recipe to serve immediately and NOT to freeze for later.
- Place corn husks in a bowl of warm water and soak until soft.
- Meanwhile, beat together corn masa, oil, salt, baking powder, and broth until smooth. Set aside.
- In another bowl, toss together chicken and salsa verde.
- Spread about 1/2 cup of masa mixture over each corn husk and top with about 1/4 cup of chicken mixture. Fold in the sides of the corn husk, forming a long package. Then fold the ends toward the center on the seam side.
- Repeat until all tamales are filled.
- Fill a large pot with 1-2 inches of water and bring to a boil.
- Place tamales in a steamer basket and drop into the pot. Steam for 35-40 minutes or until the husk peels away from the corn mixture easily. Check tamales about halfway through.
