Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Make sure to let the dish cool to room temperature before sealing to preserve freshness.
Reheating: Reheat the skillet meal in a pan over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until warmed through. Alternatively, you can microwave it in a covered dish for 2-3 minutes, stirring halfway through for even heating.
Serving: This dish can be served on its own as a hearty meal or paired with a side of quinoa or rice for added texture. Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or basil to enhance flavor and presentation.
