In a bowl, add masa harina, chicken broth, and salt. Stir to combine until a thick paste is formed.
To build your tamales, start by smearing some of your paste onto the middle of the corn husk. Place some shredded chicken on top of the paste.
Fold the sides of the corn husk in, then fold the bottom end up, leaving the top end open.
Add some water to your tamale steamer and place your tamales inside, open end up.
Cover with a lid and steam for 2 hours.
Remove the corn husks, serve, and enjoy!

Notes
Check for doneness by pulling the corn husk away from the tamale. If the masa dough pulls away from the husk easily, then your corn husk-wrapped chicken tamales are done and ready to be devoured.
Allow your tamales to rest for 10-15 minutes before serving. This helps them set and makes them easier to unwrap.
