Eating And Storage Tips

Given this might involve you using meat that already has leftovers be sure to not keep it hanging around too many days, the next day is probably okay but more than that might be a push, if you do have any left.

Generally try to avoid reheating it yet again. It would work best with pasta if you are going to be wanting to have some of it cold.

Consider adding a little bit of cheese or crispy chicken skin to the top of the dish depending on what carb you select with it. Both can give that extra little bit of richness and flavor without taking away from the overall dish.
