...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.
 
Apart from being overcooked it will be fine to eat, hot or cold

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.
