Storage, Leftovers and Freezing
Store leftovers in an airtight container in your refrigerator. Leftovers should be good for about 3-4 days. You can reheat in the oven at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes. Or you can microwave it.
I would not freeze Cream of Mushroom Chicken. As it thaws, the creamy sauce will lose it’s consistency.
