I make lots of quick dinners with store bought rottisserie chickens!. They make for a good short cut!. I use them in:

pillbury roll out pie crust
Shred chicken off of bones, mix all ingredients and fill pie crust!.
Cook according to pie crust directions
Chicken Tacos
1 can black beans
appx 1 tsp cilantro
about 1 small jar of salsa
appx 1 tsp cumin
Shred chicken off bone, combine all ingredients and simmer in skillet for appx 20 minutes!. Serve on tortillas with favorite toppings!.
Chicken Soup
carrots, celery, green onions, garlic, chicken broth and noodles (I like rice noodles), salt and pepper
cook carrots about half way first, add the rest of the ingredients and cook until noodles are soft!.
Another version of Chicken tacos
Pull the chicken off the bone, slap it on a taco shell and add cheese and sour cream
Chicken Casseroles
Any veggie (I usually go with broccoli - frozen), any starch (I like rice or taters), and any sauce (I usually do a cheese sauce), plus the rotisserie chicken meat (I also use keilbasa or browned grown hamburger sometimes)
Mix all your ingredients and bake for appx 30 min at 350!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Depends on what you usually have!. I personally have a stockpile of chicken that I will Marinate and Grill and throw on a salad!.
If you don't want the salad, Marinate and Grill the breast and throw it on a bed of rice!. If you get this going at the same time - you can have all ready in about 10-15 min!.
