Ingredients
- 4 chicken breast fresh or frozen*) You can also use bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts, boneless skinless
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
- 1 teaspoon paprika (or smoked paprika)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper ground
Instructions
- Fill a large container or pot with water. Attach the sous vide precision cooker and set the temperature to 149°F (65°C)**.
- Place the chicken breasts in a single layer on a plate. Rub 1 tablespoon of olive oil on all sides.
- In a small bowl, whisk together paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper until combined. Then rub the seasoning evenly over the chicken on all sides.
- Place them to zip-lock bags and arrange in a single layer. I use two bags with each bag having two pieces in it.
- Seal the bags using the “water displacement” technique: seal all but one corner of the bag, and slowly place it in the water bath. Make sure everything below the zip-line is covered by water. Then seal the rest of the bag. (Feel free to use a vacuum sealer if you have one.)
- Leave the bags in the warm water bath and cook for 1 hour. (Make sure the meat is fully submerged while the seams of the bag are above water. You can add heavy kitchen items to weigh the bag down if necessary.)
- When the timer goes off, remove the chicken from the bag and pat dry with paper towels.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the rest of oil. When it gets smoking hot, add the chicken breasts presentation-side down, cook for about 2 minutes until nicely seared. Flip and cook the other side for 30 seconds.
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- ** I recommend cooking the chicken breast to 149°F / 65°C, but if you’d like to try other doneness, below are the guidelines:
- *If you use frozen chicken breasts, add 30 more minutes of cooking time in the sous vide water bath.

140°F / 60°C: cook for 1.5-4 hours; the texture is very soft, tender and juicy 150°F / 66°C: 1-4 hours; soft and juicy 165°F / 74°C: 1-4 hours; traditional tender and slightly stringy
