Lazy Cook Tamales(An Original Recipe)

Stew the chicken until tender.

Remove meat from bones; cut into bite size pieces and set aside.

(You will need a quart and half of chicken broth.)

Pour the fat with broth into a 2-cup measure and reserve (this should be about half or less fat). Simmer together for 20 minutes or more 2 cups chicken broth, the tomato purée, 1 1/2 cups broth or juice and the seasonings.

After simmering period, mix together the flour with enough broth to make a smooth paste.

Stir into sauce, stirring constantly, until sauce is smooth and slightly thick.

Remove from heat.
