A store bought Rotisserie Chicken is such a time saver in the kitchen and today I'm sharing a variety of recipes that you can make. These are simple dinner ideas that the whole family will love and the best part is, they're super low effort. Let's get to it!
I will go as far as saying that a Rotisserie Chicken has saved my sanity a few times. Why didn't anyone warn us moms that we would have to come up with the answer to "What's for Dinner?" EVERY SINGLE NIGHT?!
This list will help you tremendously at getting dinner on the table fast with minimal effort.
For more weeknight dinner ideas, try this Crispy Orange Chicken, Breaded Pork Cutlets, Stuffed Pepper Skillet, and Ground Beef Burrito Bowls.

Wraps/ Sandwiches/ Quesadillas
1. Southwest Chicken Wraps
These Southwest Chicken Wraps are packed with protein and you can even prep them ahead. If you've got after school activities with kids like music, sports, etc., these are a game changer.
2. Buffalo Chicken Quesadillas
Buffalo Chicken Quesadillas only take 15 minutes to make and they're fantastic for an easy weeknight dinner or game day!
3. Chicken Salad
High in protein and you can prep these ahead too! Serve it with soup, a green salad, or some tater tots or fries and you've got dinner. These Sweet Potato Fries in the Air Fryer are super easy!
I have three recipes for Chicken Salad, and all of them are delicious. For a traditional version, this Chicken Salad on Croissants is a great option. This is my husband's favorite, as he doesn't like grapes, cranberries, nuts, etc. added in.
For more options, try this Dill Pickle Chicken Salad and Cranberry Pecan Chicken Salad. I love them all!
4. BBQ Chicken Sliders
These BBQ Chicken Sliders are a favorite with BBQ chicken topped with slaw loaded onto Hawaiian Rolls. They're messy to eat, but worth it!
5. Chipotle Avocado Melt
This Chipotle Avocado Chicken Melt is a Panera Copycat recipe and it's so stinking good. The super star of this recipe is the Chipotle Mayo!
Casseroles
6. Hashbrown Chicken Casserole
This Hashbrown Chicken Casserole recipe basically involves mixing a bunch of ingredients into a bowl, transferring them into a casserole dish and letting the oven do the work. It's cheesy with Southwestern flavors.
7. Tater Tot Chicken Casserole
Tater Tot Chicken Casserole has a Chicken Pot Pie base with a tater tot topping, and yes..it's really GOOD!
Soups & Chilis
8. Chicken Chili
White Chicken Chili (see photo below) has a white creamy base from cream cheese and heavy cream. It's cozy and really yummy!
Also, try this Green Chicken Chili, which is a bit more spicy with salsa verde and green chiles. Both are delish!
9. Chicken Minestrone
This Chicken Minestrone Soup is nutrient packed, high in protein, and tastes amazing too. Plus, only 15 minutes to prep.
10. Broccoli Cheese and Chicken Soup
Broccoli Cheese and Chicken Soup tastes a lot like Panera's broccoli cheese soup, but we're adding in shredded chicken for some added protein!
Comfort Food
11. Chicken Lasagna
I'm not going to lie, I like this Chicken Broccoli Lasagna more than any traditional Lasagna I've ever had. It features a creamy Alfredo Sauce and is impossible to stop eating.
12. Chicken Pot Pie
Dinner can't get any cuter than these Mini Chicken Pot Pies made in a Muffin Tin using store bought puff pastry!
