Notes
To Store: Let the chicken cool, then place it in an airtight container. The leftover chicken will last up to 4 days in the fridge. To Freeze: You can freeze it for up to three months. For convenience, I suggest shredding, dicing, or slicing the chicken before freezing. To Reheat: Microwave them with a damp paper towel over top the container to keep it moist.
