For the dough, soften the lard with a mixer for 5 minutes. Add the chicken broth to the flour gradually until a dough forms. (be careful not to make it watery) Add the dough to the lard gradually and mix. Add the baking powder and season. Set aside. For the sauce, add the water to a pot and put it over medium heat, add the tomatoes, garlic, and onion, and cook for 10 minutes. Remove the water and blend perfectly in the blender. Heat the oil in a small pot over medium heat, add the sauce, cook for 5 minutes, and season. Set aside. Take a corn husk, add two large tablespoons of dough, spread it very well, add a tablespoon of sauce and a tablespoon of chicken. Close the corn husk perfectly and fold it up from the bottom. Tie it with a piece of husk so that they do not fall apart. This is how to make all until the dough is finished. Add water to a steamer, arrange the tamales, and steam them over high heat for 55 minutes or until cooked.
