    after you eat what you want, boil it off the bone and then make chicken and dumplings. there is a low cal recipe on spark people, that is pretty good...

    Chicken tacos! Or mix it into a marinara sauce and serve over pasta or squash.

    Chicken and mushroom omelette is a good fallback in my house, 5 mins and you have a good protein rich meal.

    I do really love just having chicken with a little salad cream as a dip so that's my normal choice but you could make a quickie pizza using a wholewheat wrap, some tomato sauce and veg,the chicken and a little cheese, then pop it under the grill.

    I cannot remember the site I read it on, but if you search for 'a week of meals with a rotisserie chicken' it will give you a lot of great recipes.

    I love eating chicken with salsa on it! So good, and salsa is super low calorie so it adds nutrients and flavor without adding a lot of calories.

    Eat some plain with delicious side dishes tonight, pick the easy-to-get stuff off the bones and use it in chicken tacos, boil the rest off to use in soup/stews.

    I have a recipe for mac n cheese where instead of just cheese you use a salsa and then mix in the chicken. I think it's called "mac cheese chicken", and I use the rotisserie chicken for that. It's yummy!

    I always use them for soup. Shred it up and put it in with some veggies and chicken stock and rice/pasta. I also have made this chipotle chili with a rotisserie chicken: http://budgetbytes.blogspot.com/2012/10/chipotle-chicken-chili-or-c3-951-recipe.html

    Shred it with Red Hot and hidden valley ranch packet for buffalo chicken ....use in a wrap, or a lettuce wrap even lower in cals.
    Can shred also for chicken salad with low fat mayo, celery cranberries onions ,....etc.

    Save the bones in your freezer, and make chicken stock when you have a couple carcasses in there.

    I would start with chicken fajitas. Second day maybe some chicken salad wraps. Third day I'd stick the carcass in a pot of water with some carrots, onions, turnips, seasoning, and some chicken broth and turn it into an epic soup.

    last night i made chicken salad (not with rotisserie chicken but it's still chicken). grey poupon with horseradish instead of mayo, capers and reduced fat crumbled feta and it was quite tasty. so if you have chicken left over try this.

    I just bought one the other day, chopped it up (minus the skin) and made some chicken salad with it. I take plain Greek yogurt, onion poppyseed dressing, chopped almonds, sliced grapes. salt and pepper and mix together. My husband eats as a sandwich and I eat over lettuce. I also love to turn a rotisserie chicken into soup as well.
