Corn and Chicken Chowder

Preparation

Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a 4-quart saucepan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until well browned on all sides, stirring frequently. With slotted spoon, remove chicken to a plate.

Add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter to drippings in saucepan. Reduce heat to medium; add leeks, potatoes, and green pepper and cook 5 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally. Stir in paprika and flour until well blended; cook 1 minute.

Add chicken broth, corn, TABASCO® Sauce, salt, and chicken and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer 20 minutes. Stir in half-and-half and heat through.
