Thanks, Dawn. I like your ideas; I'm not great at "winging it", so I'll google for recipes.

I pulled mine out this morning and I'm making chicken and dumplings with one the other I'll do a chicken and rice with celery and onions, mix it up with some seasoning and bake in a cast iron pan.

white chili

Soup - lots of ways to make chicken soup. Ina Garten has a delicious chicken pot pie recipe. Those are usually my go to recipes for rotisserie chicken.

I like making a pasta sauce with cut up cooked chicken instead of ground beef...saute up onion, garlic, pepper, shredded carrots, pasta sprinkles or other italian herbs, basil, add canned tomatoes smooshed up, and throw in cut up cooked chicken and simmer until flavors blend. I often add zucchini or other veggies too to make a one plate dinner, and serve over whatever pasta I have and sprinkle with parmesan cheese. If it's too liquid, I can add a sm can of tomato paste to tighten the sauce.

You can do the same thing only use a small can of tomato sauce and cook uncovered until it gets a little thicker, cut the chicken up smaller, add cumin and a jalapeno pepper and turn it into quesadilla filling...brown the tortillas quickly, sprinkle with shredded cheddar, add the filling, fold in half and heat to melt the cheese and serve with salsa and sour cream.

You can do the same thing as the pasta sauce only use cumin and paprika and chili powder instead and serve over rice to make a spanish chicken and rice.

You can look up recipes for making stuffing for crepes with chicken and mushrooms too. Crepes can be bought ready made or are a very simple batter to make yourself.

You could shred the chicken, heat it up and serve with BBQ sauce on a bun. Maybe some cole slaw on the side.

This is easy. Not diet food.

1 jar Rao’s Alfredo Sauce ( I like it without the roasted garlic.)

Cut up cooked chicken. Mushrooms if you want.

Good thoughts. Thanks!

3 cups shredded chicken

2 four ounce cans green chiles

2 cups shredded cheddar

4 slices American cheese

!/2 onion finely chopped

1 can chicken broth

Mix broth, onion,chiles,soup,chicken

Put 4 tortillas in greased pan, then 1/3 of the chicken mixture. 4 more tortillas, 1/3 chicken, half the shredded cheese and the American cheese. Last 4 tortillas, chicken, cheese. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.

Make a sauce (basically a white sauce with chic broth rather than milk), throw chicken in, serve over some pasta, whatever you have.

I always use rotisserie chicken for this. Also, the link following the recipe has a great version of Chicken Tetrazzini where I also use rotisserie chicken.

Mexican Lasagna

Note: I often make this with Pace Picante Sauce (mild or medium heat) instead of the crushed tomatoes and seasonings.

1 1/2 tsp. chili powder
1 tsp. ground cumin
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 to 1/2 tsp. ground red pepper (to taste)
1 can (28 oz.) crushed tomatoes
16 oz. sour cream
6 scallions, chopped
2 cans (4 oz. each) diced green chiles, drained
6 to 7 flour tortillas, 8-inch size
3 cups shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie's great for this)
1 can (15 oz.) corn, drained
1 can (15 oz.) black beans, rinsed and drained
Approx. 2/3 cup sliced black olives, drained
8 oz. shredded sharp Cheddar cheese (or combination of Cheddar and Jack)

Garnishes: chopped cilantro, more olives and chopped scallions

Heat oven to 350.

Mix chili powder, cumin, salt, red pepper and tomatoes in a bowl.

Mix sour cream, scallions and chiles in a second bowl.

Spread about 1/2 cup tomato sauce in bottom of 13x9 baking dish. Arrange 2 tortillas to cover bottom, using pieces from another tortilla to fit corners, if needed. Top with half the sour cream mixture, half the chicken, half the corn, half the olives, 1 cup tomato sauce, one third of the cheese. Repeat layering, ending with tortillas and tomato sauce. Sprinkle top with remaining cheese, using more, if needed.

Bake, uncovered, for 45-50 minutes or until bubbly. Let stand 15 minutes. Serve with garnishes.

I make either of the versions of this fettuccine and add cooked chicken and lightly cooked broccoli tops.

Hot Chicken Salad is very good and also easy. This recipe is very similar to mine, I don't use the water chestnuts. I use a few more almonds instead.

Hot Chicken Salad

Rusty

Quesadillas.

I cook green onion,red bell pepper,and corn in a bit of oil. Season with salt,chili powder,and cumin. Add the shredded chicken and combine. Take a flour tortilla, on half put some shredded Monterey jack or pepper jack cheese,some of the chicken filling,and top with more cheese. Fold each tortilla in half. Fry both sides in a little oil until toasty.

Chicken and spinach alfredo.

Melt some butter. Add fresh garlic and some frozen spinach and cook for a few minutes. Add heavy cream and reduce a little bit. Add shredded parmesan and mozzarella cheese. Add shredded chicken. Toss with pasta of your choice. I like to use a short pasta and put it in a dish, top with more cheese and bake until bubbly.

Chicken pot pie. Yummy.
