Chicken Salad for Mrs Bear (Sous Vide)
I never got involved in Mrs Bear’s Chicken Salad before I got my Sous Vide Supreme, but I knew I could make it better for her with that.
She always makes 2 Chicken Breasts in the Toaster Oven, and I knew I could make them more moist & tender, so I made a pair of Chicken Breasts for her & they were Great (Moist & Tender).
So this time she brought me 5 nice boneless Chicken Breasts, and wanted the same thing done to them.
I put two Breasts in each Vac Bag, and one in another, along with a pat of butter for each Breast, removed the air, and Double sealed the end.
Then I set the SV Supreme at 146°, and put the 3 packs in the Bath.
After 2 hours, I removed the packs & put them right into a big bowl of Ice Water to cool fast for an hour.
Then I removed them from the Ice water, dried them off & put them in the fridge.
The next day Mrs Bear froze 3 of the Breasts & took two of the Breasts & chopped them up.
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 much better than her Toaster Oven made Chicken Salad.
I don’t usually eat any of this, but I tried one myself, and all it needed was more Black Pepper.
Below is a quick pictorial review of the process we used:
