Ingredients

  • 2 chicken breasts boneless, skinless
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon molasses
  • 1 teaspoon coriander
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  • Preheat the water to 150°F.
  • Place everything into the bag (chicken, honey, lime juice, olive oil, molasses, and seasonings), making sure not to get any of the mixture on the top 2 inches of the bag so that you have enough room to seal it. Massage the seasoning into the chicken so that they are evenly covered, then seal the bag.
  • Sous vide the chicken breasts for for 1½ hours. Then, remove from the water.
  • Let the chicken rest in the sealed bag for 10 minutes, then remove it from the bag, slice, and enjoy!
