DESCRIPTION
This Sous Vide Stuffed Chicken Breast is filled with some of my favorite ingredients, but I’ve got more great combinations for you.
Ingredients
-
4 (1 – 1.5 in.) thick chicken breasts
-
1/2 tsp. salt
-
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
-
1/4 tsp. onion powder
-
4 slices cheddar cheese
-
4 slices ham (or 8 thin slices)
Instructions
-
Preheat a water bath to 140°F (60°C).
-
Cut a pocket into the chicken breast by making a slit horizontally down the side of the breast, making sure not to cut through the whole way.
-
Sprinkle the chicken on all sides with the salt, garlic powder, and onion powder.
-
Stuff the chicken breast with the cheese and ham.
-
Place in a sous vide bag in a single layer and seal it.
-
Place in the water bath and cook for 3 hours, or until pasteurized.
Optional: -
Remove the sous vide chicken breasts from the bag, pat them dry with a paper towel or dish cloth.
-
Heat a pan over medium-high heat.
-
Add canola oil and quickly sear the chicken breasts for about 1 or 2 minutes per side, just enough time to develop some color.
-
Remove from the heat and serve.
