How to store leftovers chicken cordon bleu
If you plan on making this Low Carb Chicken Cordon Bleu Recipe, you may be wondering how to store it. Do you have any airtight containers on hand? If so, you’ll want to put the leftovers in this container.
From there, you’ll be able to put the chicken in the containers and keep them in the fridge for 3-5 days. After that time period, you will want to dispose of any leftovers!
How to reheat low carb chicken cordon bleu
If you want to reheat this delicious dish, you can do it two ways. First, you can transfer it to a microwave safe dish and put it in the microwave for about 1-2 minutes. Chicken is tricky, so I always heat in 30 minute increments.
When you’d rather heat the chicken in the oven, you will want to preheat it to 350 degrees. Ovens are a little slower, so it may take 15-20 minutes for the chicken to heat up all the way through.
This may take some trial and error to get it as warm as you’d like it, but these are the best ways to reheat Low Carb Chicken Cordon Bleu.
