Soft tacos filled with chicken and whatever else appeals, spring to
mind.

How about chicken salad (not sandwich)? I'd do a simple, cold,
mayonnaise based salad... the kind with celery, but I'd add some
halved grapes and toasted walnuts to it. Does chinese chicken salad
appeal? To make it really simple, you can use the store bought
dressing. FoodTV has a gazillion chicken salad recipes if you're
looking for ideas.

Buy some Thai peanut dressing/sauce! Then you can make Thai chicken
wraps using leaf lettuce, shredded chicken, shredded carrots, shredded
cucumbers and whatever else you like in a wrap.
