How Do You Store Meal Prep Chicken?

The most important thing about storing chicken feed is making sure that you’re able to keep it dry. Moisture is the enemy. That’s because once moisture is introduced, you can count on that chicken feed molding fairly quickly.

Once you’ve learned how to meal prep chicken in a few different ways, you can find some recipes or create some meals that you enjoy eating! To craft your own easy meals, try my basic mix and match method: combine a protein + vegetable + carbohydrate or vessel. Or, check out some of these meal prep bowls for your inspiration:

Store cut raw chicken in the fridge container to cook throughout the week, or cook on prep day. Cook cubed chicken in a pan with oil over medium-high heat for about 8-10 minutes, until browned on all sides. Allow cooked chicken to cool before storing in an airtight container in the fridge.

This step saves your future self from the frustration of hacking into a frozen block of cooked chicken. Finally, wrap the chicken tightly with freezer paper or place in a freezer bag. Cooked chicken can be stored safely for up to four days in the fridge and up to six months in the freezer.
