Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup water (240 ml)
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) plus 1/2 teaspoon (3 ml) kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) granulated sugar
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts (450 g)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 lemon, thinly sliced
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 or 4 large springs fresh rosemary, leaves stripped
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (15 ml)

Instructions

  1. Step 1 In a sizable bowl, mix together water, 2 tablespoons of salt, and sugar. Stir until they dissolve completely. Submerge the chicken, cover the bowl, and chill for 45 minutes.
  2. Step 2 Meanwhile, adjust the Anova Sous Vide Precision Cooker to a temperature of 146ºF (63.5ºC).
  3. Step 3 Remove the chicken breasts from the liquid, rinse them, and pat them dry using paper towels.
  4. Step 4 Crush the garlic with the additional 1/2 teaspoon of salt to make a paste. Coat the chicken with the garlic paste and place the lemon slices on top. Sprinkle with black pepper.
  5. Step 5 Insert the chicken into a large resealable bag along with the rosemary and vegetable oil. Use the water displacement method to seal the bag and submerge it in the water bath. Set the timer for 90 minutes.
  6. Finishing Steps
  7. Step 0 Approximately 10 minutes before the chicken completes cooking, preheat the grill to a high setting. Ensure the grill grates are clean.
  8. Step 1 Once the time is up, take the bag from the water bath. Extract the chicken from the bag. Carefully place the lemon slices on the grill first, followed by the chicken. Grill both the lemon and chicken until they achieve a nice browning on each side, for about 3 to 5 minutes.
  9. Step 2 Present the chicken with the grilled lemon slices.

Notes

  • Ensure to thoroughly rinse the chicken breasts after brining to eliminate excess salt residue.
  • Remember to pat the chicken dry with paper towels before seasoning for a perfect sear.
  • Adjust grilling time based on chicken breast thickness to prevent overcooking.
