Storage and Reheating Tips

Store leftover chicken, salad, and dressing separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Reheat the chicken in a 375°F (190°C) oven for 10–15 minutes until warmed through.

The grilled romaine is best enjoyed fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 1 day.

Keep the dressing refrigerated and use within 4 days.

For meal prep, store all components separately and assemble just before serving.
