American Family Dinners
Three American-inspired family dinners: BBQ chicken plates, smoky bean loaded sweet potatoes, and a leftover chicken macaroni bake.
The three meals
Storage and reheating
Cool leftovers within 2 hours. Refrigerate cooked chicken, bean topping and pasta mixtures for up to 48 hours. Reheat leftovers until steaming hot throughout and reheat cooked chicken only once. Freeze cooked chicken or bean topping if not using within 48 hours. Do not freeze dressed slaw or assembled pasta bake with yoghurt if you want the best texture. For babies and toddlers, keep portions separate before adding salt, BBQ sauce, hot sauce, chilli, ketchup, stock cubes, salty cheese or adult marinades.
