Crust1 teaspoon chile powder1/2 teaspoon baking powder1/2 teaspoon salt1 cup chicken broth or water1/2 cup lard1 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.
Filling2 cups shredded chicken2 tablespoons vegetable oil3/4 cup cream-style corn1/2 teaspoon salt1/2 teaspoon black pepper1/3 cup green chiles, peeled, seeded and chopped1/2 cup black olives, sliced or minced1/2 cup grated Cheddar or Monterey Jack or a combination of both2 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.
