How to Save Leftover Shredded Chicken

After cooking, allow it to cool to room temperature before storing it. This prevents moisture buildup and helps maintain the ideal texture. Store in an airtight container or resealable plastic bag. Ensure there is minimal air inside the container to prevent freezer burn. Label the container with the date so you can keep track of its freshness.

Place in the refrigerator if you plan to use the chicken within a few days. Leftovers can generally be refrigerated for 3-4 days. If freezing you should portion it out into the amount you want to feed in one serving so you can pull one or two out at a time. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil, or in an airtight freezer-safe container.

Consider double wrapping if keeping for longer. Label the packaging with the date to keep track of its freshness. Frozen cooked chicken can be stored for up to 2-6 months, depending on the type and packaging but a great way to go if you know you’ll be serving a little bit often and only wan to prep once.
