Easy Sous Vide Chicken Breast Food

SOUS VIDE CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Fill a large pot or container with warm water and heat the water bath to 145° F / 62.7° C according to your sous vide machine's instructions.
• Drizzle a little olive oil on top of the chicken breasts, then liberally season on both sides with kosher salt and freshly ground pepper. Place a thyme sprig on each side of the breasts, then place the chicken in a vacuum seal bag or Ziplock bag.
• Vacuum seal the bag if using a vacuum sealer; or if using a Ziplock bag, use the water displacement method: Partially seal it, removing as much air as possible, then place it in the water to push the rest of the air out before sealing the rest of the way.
• Clip the bag to the side of the pot or container to keep it submerged, and cook for 1 1/2 to 2 hours (3 if the chicken is frozen).
• Remove from the water bath and rest for 5 to 10 minutes in the bag.
• Remove the chicken from the bag and place on a cutting board to slice or dice.
• To sear skin-on breasts: Heat a heavy-bottom skillet over high heat with a little canola oil until it just starts to smoke. Dry the skin with paper towels, season again with a little more kosher salt and pepper. Sear the chicken breast skin-side down for 45 seconds to 1 minute to brown and crisp up the skin. Serve immediately.
