Notes
How to Store and Reheat Chicken Breast
Let the cooked chicken cool and place in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-5 days. You can also dice and freeze cooked chicken breast by placing in a freezer-safe container for up to three months.
To reheat your chicken breast without drying it out, preheat the oven to 300˚F and add a small amount of water to a shallow baking dish. Place the chicken in the dish and cover. Bake for 5-10 minutes, or until the chicken is heated through.
