Author's Notes

If using the oven, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Place chicken breasts in a baking dish and bake uncovered for 15-20 minutes.

Store the leftover chicken in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Reheat for a few minutes in the microwave, oven, or air fryer until warm.
