Gretchen used to advise simmering it with BBQ sauce for sancwiches >>
If it's still flavorful enough, make chicken salad (lemon, mayo, onion, celery, walnuts, tarragon, apples or whatever you like.
I make stock from bones I've accumulated in the freezer, but sometimes I add a whole chicken to the pot. I remove it after an hour or so and remove the meat before it's overcooked to use for chicken salad, then add the bones back to the pot for further simmering.

Let me count the ways....cooked chicken is so versitile- some RECS
I love to make BBQ chicken pizza- I make the crust then simmer chopped onions with BBQ sauce in a pan. Just at the end I put shredded chicken in to warm it. Sauce with chicken goes on the crust, then I sprinkle on mushrooms, peppers, more onion. Shredded sharp chedder goes over all then on top of that I sprinkle sliced black olives, sometimes thinly sliced pineapple that I squeeze some juice out of before putting on the pizza, a sprinkling of parmesan cheese then into a pre-heated 425 degree oven on a pizza stone it goes. A large pizza takes about 30-40 minutes to get to perfection.
If you don't want pizza, how about a Chinese Chicken Salad? Here is my favorite:
CHINESE CHICKEN SALAD
(serves 2)
4 cooked chicken half-breasts, chilled and shredded (or whatever cooked chicken you want to use)
1 head Romaine lettuce, torn into bite-sized pieces
6 green onions, chopped
1 can mandarin orange slices, drained
bunch Chinese parsley, chopped
1 package Wun Ton Chips
Dressing:
¼ C salad oil
¼ C sesame oil
4 T sugar
6 T vinegar
salt, pepper to taste
Blend dressing items. Mix together lettuce, green onions, mandarin oranges and Chinese parsley. Toss with dressing. Sprinkle Wun Ton Chips over top.
Another favorite way to use chicken at my house is to make a batch of crepes, then a nice thick bechamel sauce with cheese and onions-further flavored by herbs of your choice (I use fresh thyme or rosemary), using half to bind a filling made with cooked chicken, mushrooms and blanched broccoli and thinning out the other half of the bechamel with milk. I roll up the crepes with the filling, place in a pan, pour the thinned bechamel over the top, sprinkle parmesan over all and bake at 350 degrees fpr about 20 minutes.
Or....how about this- it is good:
IMPOSSIBLE TURKEY (OR CHICKEN) PIE (serves 3-4)
My version of a Bisquick™classic.
Place in bottom of pie or cake pan:
2 cups cooked chicken or turkey meat
1/4 lb sliced mushrooms
1 small green pepper, sliced
1/2 cup sliced onions
1 cup shredded Swiss Cheese.
Mix together, and pour over that:
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 tsp Rosemary
112 cups milk
3/4 cup Bisquick™
3 eggs
Bake 30-35 minutes. The Bisquick™ sinks to the bottom and makes a crust

Since reading Gretchen's post I now freeze the chicken, mixed with the
bar-b-que sauce and freeze in individual portions. Fresh roll topped with the heated chicken topped with slaw. In the words of Rachael Ray (who I don't usually quote) "Delish!"
