Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (680–907 g)
  • Salt
  • Black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (15 ml)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme (1.25 g)
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary (1.25 g)
  • 1 lemon, sliced
  • Optional: fresh herbs for garnish (such as parsley or cilantro)

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
  2. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, dried thyme, and dried rosemary.
  3. Rub the olive oil mixture evenly over the chicken breasts.
  4. Place the seasoned chicken breasts into individual sous vide bags.
  5. Add a couple of lemon slices to each bag with the chicken.
  6. Seal the bags using a vacuum sealer or the water displacement method.
  7. Preheat your sous vide water bath to 145°F (63°C).
  8. Submerge the sealed bags in the sous vide bath.
  9. Cook the chicken for 1.5 to 4 hours, depending on preference.
  10. After cooking, remove the bags from the water bath.
  11. Carefully take the chicken out of the bags and pat dry with paper towels.
  12. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a little olive oil.
  13. Sear the chicken in the skillet for 1 to 2 minutes per side for a golden crust.
  14. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes.
  15. Slice the chicken breasts and arrange them on a serving platter.
  16. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
  17. Serve the chicken with additional lemon slices.

Notes

  • Consider enhancing the flavor by adding a touch of smoked paprika or cayenne pepper to the seasoning mix.
  • Infuse a citrusy twist by using orange slices instead of lemon slices in the sous vide bags.
  • For a crispy skin, make sure to pat the chicken breasts dry before searing them in the skillet.
