To store: Let the shredded chicken cool to room temperature before storing to prevent moisture buildup. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.

To freeze: For longer storage, freeze leftover chicken for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight when ready to eat. Gently reheat in microwave, stovetop, or oven, adding liquid such as chicken broth if needed.
