Usually 3 days to a week if stored properly. You've got to make sure it's in an air tight bag and your fridge temperature is sufficiently low. Pretty versatile. I can cube the chicken and add a bit of mayo and chopped pineapples to make a spread. Slice it in strips as salad topping. Shred it and add it into soup etc.

Secrets in the kitchen to share :
Stick a sng buay in tomato on the top for 6 hours. Makes it a lot sweeter when you chop it up for your salad.
Chopped garlic and soak in cooking oil and store in fridge. Easy for cooking. No need to chop everytime.
Soak bittergourd in salt water to make it less salty.
Whenever you boil pasta or veg, rinse with tap water to stop cooking process so it does not overcook esp. pasta which has to be "al dente" (to the bite)
When using mortar and pestle to pound chilli or rempah, cut a slit in a plastic bag and slot the pestle in. The plastic cheet acts as a cover over the mortar and prevents juices messing all over the floor.
Store your blenders upside down to allow any liquids to flow out of the motor.
Put cinnamon stick or star anise around your storage areas to keep ants away.
A cut lemon left on the shelf in the fridge helps keeps odours away.
Eggs should be kept sharp side down.
Excess bread can be kept in freezer for a long time. Steam it when needed.  Enjoy !!

Tomatoes should only be chopped just before being cooked or eaten unfortunately. Dip tomatoes into a bowl of ice water to revive the firmess and texture a bit if stored in your fridge for too long.

Pre-Chopped onions can be kept in an air-tight container. They will usually last a week or so before losing it's pungency.

there are ways of cutitng vegetables very very quickly. I wouldn't mind running a simple workshop on that if someone can organize the venue
