Notes
Storage Instructions:
Leftovers? No problem! Ensure that the chicken is fully cooled prior to sealing it in an airtight container. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Any prepared toppings should be stored separately (also in airtight containers) in the fridge. Do not try to freeze the toppings. They won’t thaw well.
Allow the chicken to thaw in the fridge before reheating, if applicable. Next, distribute the shredded chicken evenly on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Cook the chicken in the oven at 350 degrees for approximately 10 minutes or until it is heated through. Short on time? Transfer the chicken to a microwave-safe bowl and heat it in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until heated through.
Once the chicken is warm, go ahead and assemble the tacos as you normally would.
