Perfectly juicy chicken breast cooked sous vide for extra succulence. Ideal for meal preps and easy lunches. Once cooked, sear, grill, or broil for that extra delicious golden brown.
Insert the probe into the clip attached to the side of the pot making sure it doesn't touch the bottom. Fill the pot right to the bottom of the probe bracket. Select Probe/ Sous Vide in Control Mode and set the temperature to 160°F (71°C) and allow the water to preheat fully.
Season the breasts on both sides and place up to 2 in a zip-top bag side by side. Add the ingredients, then close the bag, making sure to remove the air inside it.
Add the bag into the preheated water making sure the top of the bag is folded over the edge of the pot and the meat is fully submerged without touching the bottom. Cook the chicken for 1 hour.
Transfer the bag onto a clean towel and dry well. Remove the chicken and place it on a plate or tray lined with paper towels.
At this point, you can move to Control Mode and sear both sides for 4 minutes at 435° (223°C). You can also place it on the grill or under a hot broiler until the top crisps. Sous Vide Chicken Breast is a good source of lean protein to enjoy over salad and with vegetables as well as a great addition to mac and cheese and soups. Season with some fleur de sel and enjoy!
