I was trying to make juicy, sous vided (than pan seared) breasts.

When I cut into it, I saw the pinkish part on one of the smaller piece of meat. A bigger, chunkier one turned out nice.

    Regrettably. Next time take it out sooner.

    Might help if we new the temp and the time it was in the bath.

    you can absolutely make juicy chicken. Use a thermometer and cook it to the right temp. Most people absolutely overcook the chicken

    Yea it’s fine, nothing raw about those. If anything it’s over cooked. You can eat pink chicken, even in the “raw” sense if you held it at temp long enough. I personally like chicken breast sous vide at 145-150. But you could safely eat it if it was held at 130 long enough, but it would be pink as hell and not be the texture I’d personally be looking for.

    If you cook it at the correct temp and time, even if it’s pink inside, the temp/time will have killed all the bacteria.
