How to make chicken tamale bake:

Combine broth and corn meal in medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly with wire whisk. Whisk in 1/2 cup of picante sauce. Reduce heat to low; cook until very thick, whisking occasionally, about 15 minutes. Set aside.

Cook onion and garlic in olive oil in 10-inch skillet until tender, about 4 minutes. Sprinkle with flour; cook and stir 1 minute. Add chicken, remaining picante sauce, cumin, salt and oregano. Simmer uncovered until thickened, about 1 minute. Stir in bell pepper. Transfer to 8-inch square baking dish. Spoon corn meal mixture over chicken. Bake at 350° for 35 minutes. Sprinkle with cheese.
