I'll post some recipes. Some are tried others read well and are on my
to do list. You use your best judgment about reheating. Here's one
for starters.

Greek Style Garlic Chicken Breast

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
½ cup extra virgin olive oil
1 lemon, juiced
2 teaspoons crushed and finely chopped garlic
½ teaspoon salt
1 ½ teaspoons black pepper
1/3 teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon oregano (Greek, if you can find it)

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt,
pepper, and paprika for about 30 seconds. Place chicken in a large
bowl, and pour marinade over coating well. Cover, and refrigerate
overnight.

Preheat grill for medium heat, and lightly oil grate.

Cook chicken on grill until meat is no longer pink and juices run
clear.

Sometimes I even put it in the food.
