Storage and Reheating Tips

Store leftovers in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Reheat the chicken and potatoes in a 375°F (190°C) oven for 10–15 minutes to maintain crispness.

Reheat the carrots and corn in the microwave or on the stovetop until warmed through.

Cooked chicken can be frozen for up to 3 months.

Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating for best results.
