Notes

Meal Prep notes:
If you made the seasoned shredded chicken breast in advance, to reheat, add in barbecue sauce, and cover chicken with a damp paper towel. Microwave for 2 minutes. Stir. Repeat in 30 second increments until desired temperature.
If you baked potatoes in advance, the best way to reheat is to make the slit, cover with a damp paper towel, and microwave for 2-3 minutes. If you have an air fryer and want crispier skin, microwave as above for 2 minutes first, then air fry for 4 minutes.
