Sous vide cooking is an excellent way to ensure that you do not overcook food like chicken breasts. By vacuum sealing and then cooking in a hot water bath, you keep all the natural juices that you would normally lose inside the chicken breast. This results in flawless chicken with flavor you didn’t think was otherwise possible! Cooking chicken sous vide can be a bit scary because when it is done, it doesn’t look “done” and there will be juices! It’s okay, trust the process that cooking and holding temperature will make the food safe. Do you have any sous vide tips? Let us know in the comments below!
