Bring water to boil. Dissolve salt and bouillon in the water. Add chicken and cook at rapid simmer until chicken is done. Reserve broth. Shred chicken and set aside. In saucepan, heat shortening.

2 T. flour
1 C. reserved chicken broth
1/4 t. lemon juice
1 C. sour cream

In saucepan, melt margarine. Blend in flour until smooth. Add broth and lemon juice and stir until thickened. Remove from fire and add sour cream. Blend well, until sauce is a medium consistency.

Heat shortening. Add chili powder. Mix water and flour; add to chili powder and shortening mixture and stir until slightly thickened.
