Ingredients
- 2 chicken breast about 1 lb

- 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
- ½ teaspoon Dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Notes
- Let the cooked chicken breasts cool before refrigerating to maintain moisture and safety.
- Store them in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days in the fridge or freeze for up to 3 months.
- For best results when freezing, thaw frozen chicken in the refrigerator about 24 hours before reheating or serving.
- Cooking times vary depending on chicken breast size; use a meat thermometer to check for 165°F internal temperature.
