Notes
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If you want to keep it longer, consider freezing the chicken. Freeze in a freezer-safe container, and it can last for up to three months. Just make sure to reheat thoroughly before eating. Marinating the chicken longer can enhance the flavor even more. Try to let it marinate overnight if you have time. For a deeper flavor, grill the chicken instead of pan-cooking it. Customize your bowl with your favorite vegetables or by adding a sprinkle of sesame seeds before serving.
