Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

Crust
1 teaspoon chile powder
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup chicken broth or water
1/2 cup lard
1 1/2 cups Masa Harina®
Mix the dry ingredients together, then combine them with the chicken broth or water. Beat the lard
until fluffy, then beat the Masa Harina® into it. Line the bottom and 2 inches of the sides of a
well-greased shallow casserole dish with between 1/8 and 1/4 inch of the dough.
Filling
2 cups shredded chicken
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3/4 cup cream-style corn
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/3 cup green chiles, peeled,
seeded and chopped
1/2 cup black olives, sliced or minced
1/2 cup grated Cheddar or Monterey
Jack or a combination of both
2 ounces grated Cheddar or Monterey
cheese (for garnish)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Combine all ingredients. Spoon the filling over the dough, then spread a thin layer of dough on top.
The best way to do this is to pat out manageable pieces of the dough and place them over the filling like
a patchwork quilt. Place in the oven and bake for 30 minutes. Five minutes before the pie is done,
sprinkle additional cheese on the top.
Serves 4.
