In a bowl, beat the flour, lard, salt, baking powder, and chicken broth for 15 minutes or until you get a homogeneous and fluffy mixture. Blend the tomato, chili, cilantro, garlic, onion, and chicken broth. Pour into a bowl and add the shredded chicken and zucchini. Spread a bit of dough on a corn husk, add the green sauce with chicken and zucchini, and wrap to form the tamale. Make several tamales and set aside. Place the green tamales in a steamer and cook over medium heat for 1 hour.
