  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Preparation

  1. Set sous vide machine to 65.5C/150F.

  2. Season chicken breasts with salt to taste. Place chicken in freezer bag with olive oil and thyme, and remove the air through a vacuum sealer or the displacement method. Drop the bag in the bath for an hour.

Finishing

  1. Remove bag from bath. Take chicken out of the bag, pat dry and season with salt and pepper to taste.

  2. Heat up large skillet on medium high and add oil. Sear chicken breasts for 60 seconds on each side, or until browned. Remove from pan, and place on a plate to rest for 5 minutes. Once rested, shred chicken with fork. Use this delicious, juicy shredded chicken in a bbq sandwich, chicken noodle soup or anything else. Enjoy!
