Ingredients
Sous Vide Chicken Breast
- 2 chicken breast bone-in
- 1/2 lemon
- 2 sprigs rosemary
- 2 sprigs thyme
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 Tablespoon oil or butter
- 1 teaspoon capers
Instructions
- Set up your sous-vide cooker with a water bath at 145 F.
- Season each chicken breast with salt and pepper to taste. Put each chicken breast in a FoodSaver bag with 2 slices of lemon and a sprig of both thyme and rosemary. Vacuum seal. OR put the ingredients in a food storage bag.
- When the sous vide cooker has reached 145F add the chicken to the water bath and let it cook for between 1 1/2 to 4 hours.
- When the chicken is almost done heat a cast iron or stainless steel pan over medium high heat. Add the tablespoon of oil or butter.
- Take the chicken out of the bag and throw out the lemon and herbs. Pat dry with paper towels.
- Brown the chicken in the skillet for a minute or so until the chicken is nice and brown on top.
- Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes or so until it is cool enough to handle.
- Use your thumb to peel the chicken from the breast bone. It should come right off. Then slice the chicken diagonally and serve with lemons, capers and herbs.
