Storing Leftovers

To Store – place leftover chicken in an airtight container for 5-6 days.

To Freeze – place completely cooked chicken in an airtight, freezer safe container. Chicken will stay fresh in the freezer for up to 6 months.

To Reheat – if frozen, allow to thaw before reheating. Reheating Tuscan Chicken is best done on the stovetop over low heat. You may need to add a little water or heavy cream to thin out the sauce.
