How to Store, Freeze & Reheat
This Bang Bang Chicken Bake is fantastic on its own, but I love serving it with a crisp green salad or steamed broccoli to brighten up the plate. For leftovers, let the dish cool completely, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. The flavors actually meld even more overnight, making it even better the next day.
To reheat, I prefer the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes to keep the texture perfect—the microwave works too, but the oven keeps the cheese nice and melty. You can also freeze the unbaked casserole for up to 2 months; just thaw overnight in the fridge and bake as directed, adding a few extra minutes if needed.
