Storage and Reheating Tips

Store leftover chicken, potatoes, and salad separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Reheat the chicken in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 10 to 15 minutes or until heated through.

Warm the sautéed potatoes in a skillet over medium heat or in the microwave.

Store the salad and dressing separately to maintain freshness and crispness.
