Grab an airtight container, add in the chicken. Don’t forget the juice from cooking the chicken because this will help keep it from drying out. The leftovers will last for 2-3 days in the fridge.
How to reheat low carb lemon garlic chicken
If you made this chicken recipe and you’re wanting to reheat it, the best way would be in the microwave. Place the chicken on a microwave-safe plate and heat up in increments of 30 seconds. Chicken warms up quickly, so keep this in mind as you reheat it.
How long will lemon garlic chicken last as a leftover
Because this recipe is made from chicken, you will not want to store this in the fridge for more than 4-5 days. When you do store it, ensure you have it in a very airtight container to keep bacteria from growing in it.
If you want to keep it for more than four days, make sure you freeze it in a freezer container. It will last much longer in the freezer than it would a fridge.
