Storage and Reheating Tips

Store the chicken, rice, and vegetables in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop until thoroughly warmed.

Add a splash of water when reheating rice to prevent it from drying out.

The teriyaki sauce can be stored separately in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

This dish is excellent for meal prep and can be portioned into individual containers for easy lunches throughout the week.
