Think it will turn out fine if I SV this or is it too…. Marinade-y? It’s going in pasta.

  2. its fine. just make sure you use a sousvide specific bag, i wouldn’t trust store packaging unless it specifically states so (which it never does)

    You will 100% have coagulated protein in the bag and on the chicken after sous vide.

    Sometimes I just wipe it off and slice, as I love poaching chicken and don’t mind the slime. Otherwise, you can sear it quickly and it will be delicious.

    I always find them to be extremely salty when SV, even with a hard sear.

    Thought it was breaded. That would have been weird.

    I get marinated stuff from the store all the time and it turns out fine when cooked using sous vide

  7. I would rinse the marinade off before you seal it up for sous vide otherwise it will probably be super salty.

    I sous vide pre-marinated chicken like this all the time, and I have no problems other than minor coagulated bits like someone else mentioned. Just put in a proper bag and give it a try.

    Serious question, what is the advantage using sous vide for these instead of simply grilling or sautéing in a pan? I buy these and other marinated chicken products from TJ and never once considered using the sous vide since they are so thin/small.

  10. The instructions on the package ask you to cook the meat for 8 minutes, it probably takes 2 mins to set up your SV.

    I love sous vide but this ain’t it. Just cook the chicken dice it up and throw it in your pasta bro
