To Freeze: It’s not recommended to freeze this dish as cream sauces tend to separate upon reheating after freezing.
To Reheat: Reheat the dish in a skillet on the stovetop for 5-6 minutes or in a microwave-safe container for 1-2 minutes, with additional 30-second increments if needed to avoid overcooking the chicken.
