Can I Freeze Garlic Butter Tomato Baked Chicken?
This dish is best made fresh. Tomatoes become watery when thawed. You can marinate the chicken breasts the day before and bake when ready to eat.
If you have leftovers, they will keep fresh in the refrigerator for up to 3 days when stored in an airtight container. Reheat them in the microwave.
What to Serve with Garlic Butter Tomato Baked Chicken
