storage instructions

• shop: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If these components are stored in separate containers, their lifespan will be extended by several days.
• Meal Prep: Separate chicken, broccoli, and rice into meal prep containers. (I love These glass containers with dividers, but you can also put them in the same container. )
