I like to add cooked chicken to Zatarain's boxed rice. I especially like to add it to the Jambalaya and Red Beans and Rice. It's a one pot meal.
I also shred it and simmer it with salsa and use it for tacos, burritos, or nachos.
My husband shreds it and then sautes some onions until tender, adds bbq sauce and the chicken. He simmers it until everythig is hot and then makes a sandwich with it.

Caesar Chicken Wrap
Caesar Dressing Recipe
1 clove of Garlic
2 Tbsp chopped Parsley
2 Tbsp Anchovy Paste
1 tsp Dijon Mustard
1 1/2 Tbsp fresh Lemon Juice
1/2 cup regular Mayonnaise (Best Foods, etc)
Combine all the above ingredients in a food processor and blend until the dressing is smooth.
Ingredients
2 Tortilla Wraps
2 Tbsp Olive oil
Romain Lettuce
2 boneless skinless Chicken Breasts
Handful of Croutons
Salt and Pepper
Directions
First you are going to want to roast the chicken breasts. Brush olive oil onto the chicken breasts. Grind a healthy amount of fresh pepper and salt onto them. Let them bake for 35 to 40 minutes at 375f.
When they are finished allow them to cool enough to handle them, and chop into 3/4 inch cubes.
Wash and dry several large leaves of the Romain lettuce.
Lay the wrap out and spread a medium thick layer of Caesar dressing across them.
Add a couple leaves of lettuce on top of that and heap on some cubed chicken and croutons.
Add a second bit of Caesar dressing onto the chicken, and finish off the wrap with as much Romain as you can stuff into it.
