Either julienne raw beets for this beautiful quick salad, or look for cooked beets in the produce section or even jarred pickled beets—a surprising sweet-tart counterpoint to the sweet berries and pungent blue cheese.

Hearty Chicken Ribollita Soup
Ribollita, a traditional stew-like Tuscan soup, often uses day-old bread to add body and thicken the broth. This version uses coarsely mashed white beans, which add more fiber and a creamy texture. Garnish with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of thinly sliced fresh basil or pungent Romano cheese.
Rotisserie Chicken Naan Pizza with Spinach, Queso Fresco, & Fire-Roasted Tomato-Mango Chutney Sauce
These flatbread pizzas are great for a unique weeknight supper—the vinegary-sweet chutney zips up the chunky tomato sauce and melds beautifully with the salty cheese. If you have trouble finding queso fresco substitute some crumbled feta cheese. Ambitious Kitchen created this recipe from an ingredient list submitted by Angela S., who won a grand prize in the Just Bare® Chicken +5 Ingredient Challenge.

Parisian Chicken Salad
The recipe makes more mayo than you’ll need for the salad, but it holds beautifully for about 5 days in the fridge.
Vegetable & Chicken Tian De Soleil
In southern France a “tian” refers to both an earthenware casserole and the actual vegetable-centric dish. A tian is a wonderful way to make the most of summer produce and leftover chicken; use this version as a base for jumping off to create your own favorite combinations.
Chicken Sweet Chili Spring Rolls
If you don’t have a rotisserie or leftover chicken, poach boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs. Shred and use to fill these fresh spring rolls, which are perfect to add to a holiday appetizer buffet or to serve with a Chinese stir-fry.
Margherita Chicken Brick Oven Pizza
Head over to your favorite local wood-fired pizzeria to purchase baked crusts. They often will sell untopped baked dough as focaccia, brushed with olive oil and seasoned with coarse salt and maybe crumbled dried rosemary. These bubbly, charred crusts are perfect for simply dressed pizzas, like this classic Margherita—sweet Italian tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, and fresh basil—and shredded cooked chicken.
