Are you crazy?

No, I really like chicken breast. I like having it around. I used to George Foreman it. All the time. It’s not bad. It gets old, but it gets dry. This was literally the first thing I thought of when I learned about sous vide cooking.

No muss, no fuss. There is probably a food scientist that will say that the vacuum bags aren’t good enough and cause gills. I don’t mind being able to breathe underwater. My wife thinks Jason Momoa is hot. Jason Momoa is Aquaman. Win = Win = Win.

The FDA says “Cook all poultry to an internal temperature of 165 °F”

Yes, they do. The general consensus of sous vide recipes is that 146 degrees for more than an hour. I usually turn my chicken breast into tacos, which get heated up in the microwave before I eat them. I have also eaten the chicken fresh out of the sous vide. It’s probably the best plain chicken you will ever try.

Clean up is easier.

If you have ever cleaned a George Foreman Grill or anything that chicken has been cooked in, you are going to want to try this.
