Ingredients

  • 2 4-oz. boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 4 slices lemon
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/8 teaspoon cracked pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 sprig rosemary

Instructions

  • Fill a large stock pot (or larger) with water, attach your sous vide to the pot and set your sous vide to 145ºF. You want to make sure you can fully submerge your chicken breast in the water.
  • Then, season chicken breast with salt and pepper and place into a vacuum seal bag. A Ziplock will work fine too!
  • Add lemon slices, olive oil, and rosemary to the bag and make sure chicken breast is covered in oil and spices.
  • Remove as much air as possible from vacuum seal bag or Ziplock. We do this so that the chicken will sink to the bottom of the pot. Then fully submerge in water.

  • Eat chicken breast as-is or sear it for a crispy bite. To sear, heat 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil in a medium-sized pan. When olive oil is fragrant, place chicken breast into the pan. Sear for 1-2 minutes on each side. Enjoy!
