Notes

TO STORE: Store leftover chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.

TO FREEZE: Let the chicken cool completely, then wrap the breasts in aluminum foil and freeze in a freezer bag for up to 6 months. Let the chicken thaw in the fridge before reheating.

TO REHEAT: Microwave the chicken for 30-40 seconds or until warm, or reheat on the stovetop.
