SV Chicken Breasts (Mrs Bear’s Chicken Salad)
I never got involved in Mrs Bear’s Chicken Salad before, but I knew I could make it better for her with my SV Oven.
She always makes 2 Chicken Breasts in the Toaster Oven, and I knew I could make them more moist & tender.
So I found some internet examples for Chicken Breast, & planned my attack.
I actually settled on the one that came with my Sous Vide Supreme Oven.
I put two Breasts in a Vac Bag, along with a 3 pats of butter, removed the air, and Double sealed the end.
Then I set the SV Supreme at 146°, and put the pack in the Bath.
After 2 hours, I removed the pack & put it right into a big bowl of Ice Water to cool fast.
Then I removed them from the Ice water & from the Bag, and Mrs Bear took over from there.
She cut it all up in little cubes, mixed some Miracle Whip, Salt & Pepper, and Celery Seed into it & put it in the Fridge for a few days worth of Sammies for her lunches.
She said it really was a lot better than he Toaster Oven made Chicken Salad.
Below is a quick pictorial review of the process we used:
