How long will this recipe last for?
Bruschetta chicken lasts for 3 days in the refrigerator. While cooked chicken lasts for 3-4 days, it is best to enjoy fresh bruschetta within 3 days of making it. Any longer and the bruschetta will lose its flavor. For maximum enjoyment, store bruschetta chicken properly. It is best to store the chicken and bruschetta topping in an airtight container. Store bruschetta chicken together or the bruschetta separate.
Can Sheet Pan Bruschetta Chicken be frozen?
Yes, you can freeze Sheet Pan Bruschetta Chicken. Baked chicken freezes and reheats well as long as it's stored in a high-quality gallon freezer bag. Sheet pan chicken lasts for 4-6 months in the freezer. Bruschetta lasts for 2-3 months in the freezer. But once thawed, the tomatoes will be soggy. So if you decide to freeze bruschetta for future Sheet Pan Bruschetta Chicken meals, add tomato sauce to the meal.
