Ingredients

Olive oil

2 tablespoons

Red bell pepper

1, diced

Green bell pepper

1, diced

Garlic

2 cloves, minced

Onion

1, chopped

1/4 cup

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large bowl, combine the corn dough, chicken broth, salt, and pork lard. Mix until the dough is smooth and well-combined.
3. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and diced bell peppers. Sauté until the vegetables are soft and fragrant, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Stir in the shredded chicken and tomato sauce, mixing well to coat the chicken evenly. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until heated through.
5. Spread the corn dough mixture evenly into a greased baking dish, creating a slight well in the center.
6. Spoon the chicken and vegetable mixture into the well of the corn dough, spreading it evenly.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, or until the dough is cooked through and the top is golden brown.
8. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
