How to store your meal prepped chicken
Storage: Let the chicken cool down at room temperature and store in an air tight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.
Reheating: When ready to add to meals, slice into strips and reheat in a sauce pan over medium heat stirring frequently, until heated through, for 2-3 minutes. You might need to add a drizzle of olive oil to prevent the chicken from sticking to the bottom of the pan. Alternatively, you can transfer it to a microwave-safe dish and heat on high for 1-2 minutes.
