Notes

Storing And Reheating Stuffed Chicken Breasts

This Spinach Stuffed Chicken will last in the fridge for up to 4 days. Store it in glass meal prep containers tightly covered with a lid to prevent drying out.
To reheat in the oven, place the chicken in a baking dish, add a little water, cover with a lid or aluminum foil, and bake at 300ºF for 7 minutes. Let it rest for 5 more minutes, under the lid, and serve.
To reheat on the stovetop, place the chicken onto the skillet, add a little water and cover with a tight lid. Cook on very low heat for about 10 minutes, turning once and adding more water, if necessary.
