Storage and Reheating Tips

Store the chicken, roasted vegetables, coleslaw, and salad separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

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

For crispier potatoes, reheat them in an air fryer or oven at 400°F (200°C) for 5 to 7 minutes.

Keep the coleslaw and salad chilled and do not reheat them.

For meal prep, store the dressings separately and assemble the fresh components just before serving.
