"Chicken and herb tamales combine a masa hydrated with chicken broth and a filling of shredded chicken breast with cilantro and green onions. The mixture is wrapped in squares of banana leaves softened over the fire and tied into individual bundles for cooking. Cooking under steam or slow boiling for an hour firms the corn dough and infuses the herbaceous aromas of the banana leaf into the filling. With a soft and aromatic consistency, it is a traditional meal for four servings."
- Cook the cornmeal in boiling chicken broth over low heat until a smooth and homogeneous dough forms. - Pass the banana leaves over the flame quickly so they become pliable and do not tear when folding. - Cook the tied packages for 1 hour to firm the dough and integrate the seasonings into the corn.
In a large pot, boil the chicken broth.
Add the cornmeal and mix well, cooking over low heat.
After a few minutes, remove from heat and let cool.
Meanwhile, mix the shredded chicken with the salsa and the green onions.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Cut the banana leaves into large squares.
Place a portion of the dough on each leaf and add the filling.
Fold the leaves, forming packets, and tie with leaf strips.
Place the packets in a pot with water and cook for 1 hour.
Serve hot, decorated with fresh herbs.

- Tamale with cheese: add a strip of minas cheese or coalho cheese along with the chicken filling. - Spicy tamale: mix half a teaspoon of minced chili pepper into the chicken's herb sauté. - Tamale with olives: add chopped green olives and canned corn to the chicken filling.
- The banana leaf can be replaced by dried corn husk previously hydrated in warm water for 30 minutes. - Shredded chicken breast can be replaced by shredded cooked chicken thigh or shredded pork. - Chicken broth can be swapped for aromatic homemade vegetable stock for a more delicate flavor.
Store the tamales in their own leaves in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat by steaming for 10 minutes to restore the moisture and soft texture of the corn dough.
They can be frozen cooked and packed in airtight bags for up to 90 days at -18°C. Thaw in the refrigerator and heat by steam or in the microwave wrapped in a damp paper towel.
Serve unwrapped on the plate with mild chili sauce, fresh tomato salsa, or vinaigrette with cilantro. A portion of cooked cowpea makes for a substantial meal.
Pass each piece of banana leaf directly over the stove flame for about 3 to 5 seconds on each side. The heat softens the vegetable fibers instantly, making the leaf flexible and shiny.
The dough should reach a texture similar to a thick puree or firm polenta that easily detaches from the bottom of the pot, allowing it to be molded with a spoon without running.
Yes, the couscous steamer or a steam cooker is ideal. Position the packets upright with the folded opening facing up and cook under constant steam for 50 to 60 minutes.
Carefully open one of the packages after 1 hour of cooking. If the corn dough detaches easily from the banana leaf without sticking, the tamale is fully cooked and firm.
