Storage and Reheating Tips

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

Reheat the chicken in a skillet over low heat or in a 350°F (175°C) oven until warmed through.

Warm the mashed potatoes with a splash of milk to restore their creamy texture.

Store the salad and dressing separately to keep the vegetables crisp and fresh.

For meal prep, portion the chicken and potatoes into containers and add freshly dressed salad just before serving.
