How to Store Leftover Greek Chicken
Leftover Greek chicken will last in the fridge for up to 3 days. To store leftover Greek chicken, simply transfer it to a medium airtight container and place it in the fridge. Make sure to press out as much air from the bag or container before you seal it shut.
You can also freeze for longer storage, up to around 3 months. Divide leftover Greek chicken into meal-sized portions if desired and place it in a freezer bag. Press out as much air as possible before you seal it shut. Remember to date and label your freezer bags with a marker!
How to Reheat Leftover Greek Chicken
To reheat leftover Greek chicken, transfer it to a medium microwavable bowl and zap it in the microwave for around 1 minute. You can also reheat Greek chicken on the stove top: just add a splash of water before you cover and steam-fry over high heat until hot throughout.
If reheating from frozen, thaw the entire bag overnight in the fridge before reheating.
About the Ingredients for Greek Chicken Sheet Pan Dinner
Chicken – I used chicken thighs here, but you can substitute with any cut of chicken. Just keep in mind you may have to adjust the cooking time of the chicken depending on what you use.
Vegetables – I used a mix of zucchini, bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, onion, and olives, but you could use any veggies you prefer really. You could even throw in some quartered baby potatoes.
Cheese – Feta cheese adds saltiness and creaminess to this sheet pan dinner. For best results buy a block of feta and crumble your own instead of buying crumbled feta.
Marinade – This is a simple marinade with plenty of Greek flavours. If you don’t have a Greek spice blend on hand then make your own with a little marjoram, oregano, basil, dill and thyme.
