Easy Low-Carb Shredded Chicken Breasts Recipe
Equipment
- Sous Vide Immersion Circulator
- Zip-top bags
- Kitchen Tongs
Ingredients
- 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts fresh or frozen*
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste
- ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Fill a large container or pot with water. Attach the sous vide precision cooker and set the temperature to 149°F (65°C).
- Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper.
- Place the seasoned chicken breasts to a zip-top bag.
- Arrange the breasts in one single layer and then seal the bag using the “water displacement” technique: seal all but one corner of the bag, and slowly place it in cold water. Make sure everything below the zip-line is covered by water. Then seal the rest of the bag.
- Cook for 1 hour. (Make sure the meat is fully submerged while the seams of the bag are above water.)
- When the timer goes off, remove the chicken from the bag. Don’t throw away the juices.
- There are two ways to shred the chicken. You can simply use two forks and pull the chicken meat apart, or you can place the chicken in the bowl of a stand mixer. Use the paddle attachment on the stand mixer and use the speed of 2. You can shred the chicken breasts within 20 seconds.
- If you’d like to add extra moist and flavor to the chicken. Add the liquid from the bag to the shredded chicken and toss to combine.
- Serve the shredded chicken with tacos, sandwiches or pasta immediately. Or freeze in the freezer-friendly containers for future use.
Notes
- *If you use frozen chicken breasts, add 20-30 more minutes of cook time in the sous vide water bath.
