Storage Tips
This Oven-Roasted Chicken with Chickpea Salad and Yogurt Sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days, allowing for convenient meal prep or leftovers. To store, transfer the salad mixture into an airtight container to maintain freshness and prevent any odors from affecting the dish. It's recommended to store the yogurt sauce separately in a sealed container to preserve its texture and flavor. When ready to enjoy, simply reheat the chicken and vegetables in the microwave or oven until warmed through, then assemble the salad and drizzle with the yogurt sauce for a quick and satisfying meal. Avoid freezing this dish as the texture of the salad components may be compromised upon thawing.
