Remove from heat and shred chicken with a fork and knife. Stir in sour cream and serve over rice and black beans. Lettuce and tomatoes are optional and are great on there too.

2 cups Instant Rice ~ Stove: In meduim saucepan, bring 2 cups water to boil. Stir in rice and cover. Remove from heat. Let stand 5 minutes. Fluff lightly with fork and serve. Microwave: In a microwave safe dish combine rice with 2 cups water. Microwave for 5 minutes. Let stand for 2-4 minutes until all water is absorbed.

 I also included Rhodes rolls and green beans to serve as sides with this meal.

Hope you enjoy :)!

In case you want more detailed instructions than I wrote on the bags that have the rolls in them here they are...

Rhodes Rolls

Regular Method ~ 3-5 hours
1. Coat 8" baking pan with non-stick cooking spray. Place frozen dough in pan and cover with plastic wrap coated with cooking spray to keep it from sticking to dough while rising.
2.Let rolls rise for 3-5 hours, until double in size. Actual time depends on the temperature of your kitchen. Carefully remove the plastic wrap.
3. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Bake rolls 15-20 minutes, until golden brown.
4. Remove the rolls from pan at once and place on wire rack to cool. Brush tops with melted butter or margarine, if desired.

Speed Mehod ~ 1 1/2 hours
1. Coat 8 " baking pan with non-stick cooking spray. Place frozen dough in pan. Do not cover. Preheat oven to 200 degrees, then TURN OVEN OFF. Boil 1 or 2 quarts of water in a shallow pan and place pan of water on lower rack in oven.
2. Place rolls on upper rack in oven. Let dough rise about 1 hour, until double in size. Watch closely so dough does not rise too high. Remove pan on water.
3. Leave dough in the oven and set to 350 degrees. Bake 15-20 minutes, until golden brown.
4. Remove the rolls from pan at once and place on wire rack to cool. Brush tops with melted butter or margarine, if desired.

Convection Oven ~ Bake rolls 10-15 minutes at 325 degrees.
