Expiration & Storage Tips
When does Tuscan Chicken expire?
Unopened Tuscan Chicken lasts for about 4 days in the refrigerator. After you've opened it, you should try to finish it within 3 days if stored in the refrigerator. The 'Best By' date on the packaging refers to the unopened product, so follow the above guidelines once it's opened. If storing Tuscan Chicken in the freezer, it can last for up to 4 months.
How do you tell if Tuscan Chicken is bad?
If your Tuscan Chicken has gone bad, you will likely notice a sour smell. The texture of the chicken may also become slimy or have a tacky feel to it. If you see grey or green spots on the chicken, it has gone bad and should be thrown away. Additionally, if you taste it and it seems off or not as flavorful, it's best to err on the side of caution and discard it.
Tips for storing Tuscan Chicken to extend shelf life
• Always store your Tuscan Chicken in the refrigerator or freezer in airtight containers to prolong its shelf life.
• If you've cooked a large amount, consider storing it in smaller portions. This way, you only defrost what you need and prevent the entire amount from spoiling quickly.
• If you're freezing it, make sure it's cooled down before popping in the freezer. This helps maintain texture and flavor.
• Don't leave Tuscan Chicken out at room temperature for more than 2 hours to avoid bacterial growth.
