Spring is a busy time for my family, and because healthy eating is important to me, I really need to have quick, easy & healthy recipes for a fast and convenient dinner. Rotisserie chicken is one of my best go-to’s. It’s so tender and has such great flavor, and it makes cooking dinner a snap!
Here are some of our favorite recipes that work with a rotisserie chicken. Hope this helps you avoid the drive-through, organize your health and your family, and relieve a little bit of stress!

Healthy Asian Lettuce Wraps
You’re going to love these!!! Hint: Double the filling and freeze half for a quick meal on another night.

Chicken Craisin Salad
If you haven’t had this yet, believe me…it will be your FAVORITE new salad! Be sure to chop lots of extra ingredients and store them separately so you can eat this salad for lunch throughout the week.

Healthy BBQ Chicken Pizzas
A Go-To option for lunch, for the weekend, or on a busy night when the drive thru is a temptation. How I love these little pizzas!

White Bean Chili
I’m a sucker for anything that lets me pile on the Mexican toppings. This is a personal favorite! Double and freeze the extra.

Chicken Tortilla Soup
Same goes for this one. Bring on the avocado, olives, green onions, and tomatoes!

Loaded Yam
This is a fun one because it’s so unique. Though it’s not pictured with chicken, I always pile it on to add some protein. This is a favorite lunch when I have leftover yams from dinner before, but can make a quick and easy dinner as well.

Southwestern Black Bean Salad
This Black Bean Salsa has a lot of options. The less healthy route is to skip the chicken and dig into it with a bag of tortilla chips. I’m not going to say I’ve never done that! But when I’m looking for a healthy meal, I’ll mix in some rotisserie chicken and grab a fork.

Quick Chicken Quesadillas
From Ease and Carrots. Maybe not so healthy, but the kids will eat them! I go light with the cheese and throw in whatever taco toppings I have chopped in the fridge, then top with lots of lettuce and salsa.

Chicken Noodle Soup
From Six Sisters Stuff. This one’s got a lot to offer: crockpot meets rotisserie chicken…it doesn’t get any easier than this! Put the soup on after lunch and then come home to dinner after a busy afternoon. Just add noodles and rotisserie chicken – and dinner is served!

Chicken Wrap
Nothing too creative here, but this picture makes my mouth water every time. I like it fixed this way, but of course my kids aren’t too fond of the green stuff. But hey – chicken wraps are quick and healthy, and easy to customize for the whole family.
