Shredded Chicken with Red Guajillo Chile Sauce on Basmati Rice

I saw my local grocery store started carrying this red guajillo cooking sauce form Herdez and thought I'd add a little precooked shredded chicken breast and it turned out really good. I think I'll always have a jar in the pantry. 
 
But what are the flavor characteristics of a Guajillo Chili:
The Guajillo chile has the best flavor of any Chile, typically used for red Enchilada sauce. The chile has 4" to 6" inch pods and are medium to hot with super sweet flavor.
 
Ingredients:
1 large poached and shredded chicken breast
1 jar Herdez Red Guajillo Chile sauce
Basmati rice
Diced green onion
Chopped cilantro
Sour cream
 
Preparation:
Cook the rice by adding 1 cup of rice to 1-1/2 cups water and a teaspoon of salt to you rice cooker. Press start and the rice will be done in 15 minutes.
 
Take a medium sauce pan and add the red Guajillo sauce and shredded chicken and heat to simmer. Cook for about 10 minutes and you're done.
 
To serve, place a portion of rice on a serving plate or bowl. Add the shredded chicken and garnish with diced green onions, chopped cilantro and sour cream.
