I am not sure how many people you are feeding but some ideas:
Quesadillas, tacos, enchiladas, or taco salad.
BBQ sandwiches
Chicken Salad sandwiches
Soup (chicken and wild rice, taco soup, chicken and noodle soup)
Chicken and broccoli casserole.
Chicken BBQ pizza

Here's two of our favorite casseroles.

I double the pasta to 1 pound and we have leftovers. For one pound of pasta you can use one can of soup or two.
I don't have onion powder so I just use garlic powder.

I'd add the shredded chicken to this quesadilla recipe

How about Nachos?

I would adapt it to make this: http://www.primallyinspired.com/buffalo-ranch-stuffed-peppers/

We looooooooove this recipe! I use less butter, though. Sometimes we eat it as stuffed peppers, but sometimes I just make the chicken and have buffalo ranch lettuce cups. One time I made nachos with it (made a bleu cheese dressing with Greek yogurt from Skinnytaste.com) which was amazing but not as healthy.

You can also make chicken fried rice, chicken noodle soup (or any other soup), chicken salad sandwiches, enchiladas, chicken noodle casserole, etc.

Quesadillas or Taco soup come to mind.
