Special Notes

Sous vide cooking ensures perfectly cooked, juicy chicken breasts every time. The low temperature cooking prevents overcooking while the final sear adds color and flavor. This method is foolproof and produces restaurant-quality results. The chicken can be held in the water bath for up to 2 hours without overcooking. Serve with your favorite sides or slice for salads and sandwiches.
