  • Toss the chicken in the sauce
  • Arrange it in a single layer in a casserole dish.

Notes

Storage Instructions:
Allow the chicken and sauce to cool completely before sealing it in an airtight container. Store it in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. 
When you are ready to enjoy, allow the chicken to thaw in the refrigerator before reheating, if applicable. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and arrange the chicken (with the sauce) in a single layer in a casserole dish. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes or until heated through. 
If you are pinched for time, you can reheat the chicken (1 portion at a time) in the microwave in 30-second intervals until heated through.
