Green chicken tamales are soft, buttery and packed with flavor! This is just another example of how unique Mexican food is. These tamales are perfect for any occasion/celebration because the green sauce the chicken is soaked in, is prepared in a way thats impossible to resist. I hope you enjoy the process and fall in love with each and every step. (As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases)
