Place chicken in large pot and cover with hot water. Bring to boil and cook until just done, about 20 minutes. When done remove chicken place on cutting board and strain water into large measuring cup to remove any unwanted chicken bits. If you have 3 cups of chicken water you'll need 1 more cup of water and put it all into the pot. Add tomato chicken powder broth and rice and bring to boil.
Heat oven to 375.
In medium pot over medium-high heat with 1 tbsp veg oil cook onion and pepper until soft. Add Las Palmas enchilada sauce and simmer over low heat.
Remove chicken from bone, remove skin and shred up chicken into a bowl. Add about 2-3 tablespoons of sour cream and salt to taste (about 1 tsp salt) Mix well.
In 9x13 baking dish add 1/2 cup of Las Palmas sauce mixture and spread over bottom of dish.
In 9" frying pan add veg oil for frying corn tortillas. On med-high heat fry tortillas (one at a time) until bubbly, but not crispy. Remove (one at a time) place on plate or cutting board put 1-2 tbsp of chicken mixture on top and roll up. It will be hot so move quickly. Place in dish. Then fry next tortilla and do the same. Until all are fried and filled and rolled. Pour Las Palmas sauce over top (you don't have to use it all, they don't need to swim in the sauce) Put shredded cheese over the top and sliced olives on top of that. Cook about 20 minutes.
While cooking use chicken water and more water (if needed) to cook rice. Use tomato chicken powder broth to season the water for the rice. Read instructions for the amount of rice and water needed. Rice is easy 2 cups water 1 cup rice. So for 2 cups rice you'll need 4 cups of water and usually 4 tsp of the powder broth. Cook for 15 minutes (bring to boil and reduce to simmer).
Heat beans in pot.
When enchiladas are done. Let sit for 5 minutes.
Top with sour cream, green onions if desired. Serve with the rice and beans.
