Notes
Freezer Instructions:
Once you’ve cooled your prepared Salsa Chicken, put it in a freezer-safe container before putting it in the freezer to keep it fresh. Don't forget to add your label! You can leave the meal in the freezer for a at least 3 months before reheating. You can also assemble smaller portions into freezer-safe bags and store them that way to save space.
To thaw, take your Salsa Chicken from the freezer to the refrigerator the day before. When you're ready to reheat, just place it into the Instant Pot and set for Slow Cook for about 3 hrs, or until it reaches desired warmth.
***Casseroles should be heated to a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees.***
