• Make sure to let the chicken rest before slicing or serving to allow the juices to redistribute and keep the meat tender and juicy.

• Leftover chicken can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• The mint sauce can be stored in a sealed jar in the refrigerator for up to a week.
• To serve, reheat the chicken in the microwave or oven until warmed through, and drizzle with the mint sauce.
