Tips and Tricks
Yes, you can prep your vegetables and keep them in an airtight container in the fridge. You can also mix up the seasoning and have it ready to go. You can even season everything and place in the freezer in a freezer baggie until ready, thaw and cook as normal.
After cooking and cooling to room temperature, store in an airtight container int he refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat on a low oven setting.
Cut the chicken into smaller strips all about the same time. This will insure that the shorter cook time will get the chicken done. Around 165 degrees internal temperature will be perfect!
