According to our friends at Glad, cooked chicken breast can last around three to four days in the fridge, and it’s better to store chicken breasts in the freezer if possible.
As for defrosting your chicken, it’s as easy as transferring it to your fridge. It will typically take a full day to thaw, so plan your meals accordingly. Remember to cook chicken (reaching 165°F internal temperature) right after thawing to kill potentially dangerous bacteria.
