How To Store Honey Garlic Chicken Breast

It’s always best to enjoy any dish when freshly made, but it doesn’t mean wasting food. If you have some leftovers, store them for later use, wasting is not good. And this is also helpful if you don’t get so much time on weekdays.

Make this honey garlic chicken breast and just reheat it whenever you want to eat and enjoy. 

Transfer the chicken breast with the sauce into an airtight container. It’s always best to use a glass container/jar for storing leftovers.

Then secure it tightly and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. And for more days, keep the chicken breast in a ziplock bag and store it in the fridge for up to 2 months.

Whenever you want to eat, thaw them overnight or for 2-3 hours, reheat them in the oven for 2 minutes, and it’s ready to serve. 

Tips and Tricks

• Don’t cut the chicken breast in half to make them thinner. Pound them just like I said, this will make the chicken breast tender as well as make them crusty as well. 
• If your chicken breast turns darker after adding it to the sauce, use cornstarch or cornflour instead of all-purpose flour. 
• Avoid using dark soy sauce, it will ruin the honey garlic chicken breast taste. You can also use coconut aminos instead of light soy sauce, but not dark soy sauce.
• Coat the chicken breast finely with the flour mix, this will ensure the chicken has a better crust.
• Don’t crowd in the pan, keep enough space to let them fry evenly. And keep flipping in a few minutes.
