seasoning of choice
Instructions
Fill the inner pot of the Ninja Foodi or your sous vide container with at least 8 cups of water. Place the seasoned chicken in ziplock bags or vacuum bags and seal using vacuum sealer or water displacement technique.
Place the bags of chicken in the water and make sure they are fully submerged. Add water if needed and remove the chicken breasts.
If using the Ninja Foodi, put the pressure lid on and turn the valve to vent. Select the sous vide function and set the temperature to 145°F/65°C and hit start. Allow the Ninja Foodi to heat up and when it says, "ADD" open the lid and put the chicken breasts in the water, making sure they are submerged. Put the pressure lid on and turn the valve to VENT. Set the time for 90 minutes.
If using an immersion circulator, place it in the container of water, set the temperature to 145°F/65°C and cover the container with foil or another covering. When the water is heated to the correct temp, add the chicken breasts in the bag. Make sure they are fully submerged and recover the container. Set the time for 90 minutes or if your circulator doesn't have a time setting, set another timer for 90 minutes.
When the 90 minutes is up, remove the bags of chicken. If you are planning on refrigerating them or freezing them, place the bags in an ice bath to quick chill. If you are serving them right away, you can serve them as is or sear them.
To sear the chicken breasts, add about 1 Tablespoons of oil to the inner pot of the Ninja Foodi or a skillet and turn on the sear/sauté (stove burner) on high to heat the oil until it is sizzling, but not smoking. Add the chicken breasts and sear on the first side for 2-3 minutes, flip and sear on the other side for 2-3 minutes. Remove and serve.
