KETO CHEESY BALSAMIC CHICKEN

I love this recipe. It’s easy, tender, cheesy, and juicy. Like my One Pot Italian Sausage Orzo and One Pan Baked Caprese Orzo, this balsamic chicken recipe is made in one pan. Plus, the leftovers are just as good, if not better, when they’re reheated. 

To store leftovers, allow them to cool down completely. Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to three days.

Furthermore, you can add quinoa, rice, or orzo, if you’re not counting carbs, to stretch the meal and your budget even further.

CAN I FREEZE CHEESY BALSAMIC CHICKEN?

Yes, absolutely. This chicken recipe freezes beautifully. Allow everything to cool completely, cover your dish with plastic wrap, and then cover it with foil. As well, you can plan in an airtight container. I don’t like to keep dishes frozen for more than a month but it can be frozen up to 8 weeks.

When you’re ready to bake it, allow it to thaw completely in the refrigerator. Remove the plastic wrap and return the foil on top then pop it in the oven and cook until heated through. The time to reheat depends on how much is in the pan and your oven. Simply check the middle pieces of chicken, when they’re heated remove them and serve.

You can also reheat it in the microwave with medium-low heat until the heated through. (I prefer to reheat it in the oven.)

Take note, the tomatoes tend to get mushy during the process of freezing and reheating. It doesn’t bother me especially if I have rice, quinoa, or pasta. However, you can add fresh tomatoes when you reheat them if you prefer.
