How we calculated: Rotisserie chicken values are scaled from its published label (3 oz = 140 calories, 19 g protein, 7 g fat, 460 mg sodium). Canned chicken values come from its published label (2 oz = 60 calories, 13 g protein). All other foods use the closest USDA FoodData Central (SR Legacy) entry. Your package label may differ slightly.

Tips

Shred the chicken on day one

Pull the rotisserie chicken off the bone the day you buy it. Use it within 3 to 4 days, or freeze it in 4 oz bags.

Watch the sodium

Rotisserie and canned chicken are salty. Rinse canned chicken and pair it with fresh vegetables.
