If you're a meal prep enthusiast, this Keto chicken roast can be a versatile addition to your weekly lineup. To store this recipe for meal prep, follow these steps: After cooking, allow the chicken and vegetables to cool to room temperature. Then, carefully separate the chicken meat from the bones and store it in an airtight container. Place the roasted vegetables in a separate container. Refrigerate these components for up to four days.
