How to store leftover chicken
You can store leftover chicken in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. You want to let the chicken dry and also make sure it's cooled to room temperature before storing. This will preserve freshness.
How to use leftover chicken
Another reason why this is a favorite recipe of mine is because it makes great leftovers! You can use the extra meat in gluten-free chicken noodle soup, enchiladas, salads, or make gluten-free chicken pot pie.
