How to Store and Reheat Chicken Broccoli and Cheese Casserole
To get the best texture from your chicken broccoli and cheese casserole, it’s best to assemble, bake, and serve it on the same day. But if you end up with leftovers, there’s an easy way to keep them fresh for a next-day meal. Here’s how to store and reheat chicken broccoli and cheese casserole.
Chicken broccoli and cheese casserole will last in the fridge for up to 4 days. Just transfer any leftover casserole to a sealable container before storing in the refrigerator. For the easiest and fastest way to reheat your leftover chicken broccoli and cheese casserole, we recommend reheating individual servings using the microwave. Place a serving on a microwavable plate and cover. Microwave on Medium-High (70%) for 2 to 3 minutes or until the casserole reaches at least 165°F when an instant-read food thermometer is inserted in the center of the serving. If microwaving more than one serving, keep in mind that you’ll need to increase the microwave time to get the pieces hot and ready to eat.
