  3. Add flour to the mixture and cook for 2 minutes until raw smell disappears.

  6. Stir in reserved seasonings along with hot sauce and green chilies; bring to a gentle boil.
  7. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper, add to the pot with corn, simmer until cooked through (15-20 minutes).
