Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme or rosemary
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or unsalted butter

Method
 

  1. Pat chicken dry and season all sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  2. Place each breast in a bag with herbs, garlic, and oil; seal using a vacuum sealer or water displacement.
  3. Cook in a 145°F (63°C) water bath for 1 hour 30 minutes.
  4. Remove chicken, pat very dry, and sear in a hot oiled skillet for about 1 minute per side. Slice across the grain and serve.

Notes

The water bath can hold the chicken for up to 4 hours without losing quality, so this recipe is forgiving if dinner runs late. Plan about 15 extra minutes for the water bath to come up to temperature before step three.
