...the fridge again? Yesterday I cooked some chicken in the oven but I didn't eat it all, so I put the left overs in the fridge. Today, I boiled some rice and chucked the left over chicken in with the rice to cook for about 10 mins. Now there are still some leftovers which I have put in the fridge. Will it be safe to eat if I don't heat it again but instead eat it cold? I am a bit cautious because I am still recovering from some food poisoning these days.
 
no im afraid not.

food should only ever be re-heated one time, and re heated food should not be saved

you may very well be fine, but i was always told to follow these rules and ive never had food poisoning

i wouldnt risk it
 
Cooked chicken should be good for 3-4 days if kept in the fridge.

I wouldn't worry about warming it multiple times. In fact its probably better to warm it.
You kill some bacteria when its cooked/heated again.
