Step 1 - Soak Husks. Fill Imusa pot with HOT tap water, up to the steamer rack and place the husks in (about 35). Add husks one-by-one so husks soak evenly.

Step 2 - Boil Chicken Breasts. Fill a large pot with about 2 gallons of water and bring to a boil. Add chicken breasts, 2 ½ Tablespoons of Caldo con Sabor de Pollo and 1 Tablespoons of Limón & Pimienta seasonings.

Step 3 - Boil Tomatillos, Jalapeños, Serranos, & White Onion. In a large pot, fill with water halfway and bring to a boil. Add ingredients and boil for 20-25 mins or until you see the tomatillos turn a lighter green.

Step 4 - Make Masa. Mix corn flour, salt and baking powder in a Kitchenaid mixer using flat beater for a few seconds. Add lard and mix on low for 30 seconds.

Step 5 - Make Chile. Once chile ingredients are cooled (from step 3), pour into Ninja Blender. OPTIONAL: Add cilantro and salt (~1 ½ teaspoons), to taste.

Step 6 - Prep Chicken. Remove cooled chicken from the fridge and 'clean' fat and other particles from each piece. Tear each piece into small strips so it will be easy to stuff Tamales and eat!

Step 7 - Dry Off Husks. Drain all the water in Imusa pot and lay out the husks on a towel. Dry off each husk as best as you can. They can still be slightly wet.

Step 8 - Assemble Tamales. Take a husk and with one hand hold the smaller end. With the other hand take a scoop of Masa and evenly spread on ¾ of the husk.

Step 9 - Steam Tamales. Fill Imusa pot with water just below the steam rack. Place a coffee mug or non-breakable cup in the center of the steam rack. Bring water to a boil.

Step 10 - Cool & Enjoy. Let tamales cool on wire rack for a few minutes. Untie, unroll and enjoy!
