You can store your leftover chicken in an air tight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. When you are ready to enjoy your leftovers, just pop them in the microwave for a minute or so.
My favorite storage containers are by the brand Razab. I do giveaways with them and truly love their products so much. All of their containers are BPA free, oven safe, freezer safe, dishwasher save, and have steam release valves! You can find them on Amazon here.
I post all my recipes on social media as well and you can stay up to date on what I am up to! Also, I love seeing people try my recipes! When make these, snap a picture, and share it to your socials. Tag @cookingkatielady and #cookingkatielady so I can admire your masterpiece and share with others!

In a blender, combine the chipotle peppers, chicken broth, seasonings, and onion. Blend until you have a thick paste consistency.
Reserve 1/4 cup of the paste to use as a sauce in your burrito bowls/tacos/whatever you decide to make with the chicken! Marinate the rest of your chicken for 30 minutes for up to overnight (I did an hour and it was great!)
Heat a nonstick grilling pan (mine is by Anolon) or grill over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Grill your chicken for about 5 minutes on each side. Serve your chicken however you would like! Top with your reserved marinade.
