Ingredients

2 chicken breasts – we recommend boneless chicken breasts

Fresh cracked pepper to taste – basic spices are the way to go

Rosemary sprigs for added flavor – rosemary elevates the chicken

2 teaspoons of olive oil for searing

How to Sous Vide Chicken Breasts

In order to sous vide your chicken breasts, you can place them into a gallon size zip lock bag and use the water displacement method or vacuum seal it if you prefer.

Next, fill whatever large pot or sous vide bath container and get it warmed to somewhere between 145F – 150F. We have found that this is a great range to get the chicken tender enough while still staying perfectly juicy.

After the chicken breasts have been cooked, warm up a skillet on your oven and toss in two table spoons of your choice of cooking oil. Place the chicken in your pan and sear it for just a 5 – 10 minutes.

Serve immediately with your choice of sides!
