Asian chicken salad, shredded cabbage, shredded carrots, chopped green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice wine vinegar, honey, sriracha, pulled chicken. Serve it with rice or by itself. Light and delish.
I often just add this chicken to pasta dishes I’m making.
But here’s a good chicken salad with some kick. You can use nonfat Greek yogurt.

Wait. Costco has prepulled rotisserie chicken for sale? Is it white dark and skin?
We eat this chicken all the time. I get it home, divide the “brick” into 4, chop each Brick into bite size pieces, drop each quarter into a freezer baggie and put in the freezer. Basically I make a “rice skillet” – a mix of 7-8 cups of cooked vegetables (ex., Normandy Vegetables, Sheet pan vegetable, Broccoli, Red Cabbage, Green Cabbage, Walmart peppers and onions, canned peas, carrots, corn or beans – a different mix combo every day) + rice + herbs and spices to fit my mood – Chinese, Mexican, Afghan, Italian, etc. DH is on a kidney diet, so low protein. I saute the chicken separately and everyone takes the amount they want. Days of Haute Cuisine are long gone, so we are where we are…
You could totally make a chicken salad with just a very small amount of light/low fat mayo plus Greek yogurt with a little salt, plus whatever green onions or seasonings you like.
Or, a nice chicken vegetable stir fry with whatever stir-fryable veggies you have on hand.
Gumbo or jambalaya (chicken and sausage)
With a broccoli / cauliflower bake, I like it for salad wraps too. If you have extra carbs for the day, chicken & dumplings or pot pie.
Chicken enchilada bake (I think SkinnyTaste has a recipe)
I use it to make white bran and chicken chili.
Others have mentioned salads or pastas, which are my recommendations also- but just throwing out a tip for whatever you prepare:
There’s a *lot* of salt already in this chicken breast, so hold back on seasonings or dressings just a hair. You can always add more.
My palette is pretty salty, so my tolerance is high, and I recently found that I had upset a balance there in an unpleasant way.
Chicken wild rice soup. Buy a box of uncle Ben’s wild rice (seasoned) and cook according to the package. Sauté onions, celery and carrots until a bit tender, add in chicken broth to your liking. Low boil until carrots are tender. Add in as much rotisserie chicken as you want. Stir in cooked rice and add a splash of cream. Best with oyster crackers over top.
