Store avocado separately and add fresh when serving.

Reheat the chicken, rice, and broccoli in the microwave or on the stovetop until heated through.

Add a splash of water to the rice before reheating to maintain its texture.

The chicken and rice can be frozen for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
