Notes
TO STORE: Let the chicken cool completely, then transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 5 days.
TO FREEZE: Store the cooled chicken in a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to 3 months.
TO REHEAT: Reheat in the microwave or in a saucepan over medium-low heat until warmed through. If the sauce has thickened in the fridge, add a splash of water or chicken broth to loosen it.
