When it comes to storing and reheating these Bento Box creations, I recommend refrigerating them for up to 3 days or freezing for up to 2 months.

To reheat, simply place the Bento Box in the air fryer at 375°F for 5-7 minutes,

or until the chicken breast is heated through and the vegetables are tender.

You can also serve these Bento Boxes with a side of your favorite dipping sauce or a sprinkle of chopped fresh herbs for added flavor and fun!
