There are so many steak posts on here and yes SV does work for steak. It makes it easier to get a high quality result. But for me one of the best use cases is stuffed chicken. Cooking the chicken SV before frying it means that the chicken gets fully cooked without melting the cheese out of the middle. Plus you can wrap it tightly in saran wrap before vacuum sealing and it holds its shape for the frying part.

You just blew my mind. What temp and how long before frying? I’ve never been able to get good results with chicken and I always end up overcooking it to mush.
Bro I thought this was a sandwich lmao
Looks amazing! Can you explain a little more? Do you stuff the chicken and then SV everything together? How long/what temp?
For an average home cook, sous vide can do some much more for chicken than steak.
No. I shall absolutely not forget steak.
Fantastic looking chicken though!
you sous vide a sandwich????? lol
Chicken Cordon Bleu…here I come!
OP thanks for the idea and your quick “how-to”
The chicken didn’t taste funny with the Saran Wrap being cooked around it?
Is the plastic wrap going to leach with the heat
I do this with turkey breasts but use butcher’s twine to hold it together. It’s one of our favorite meals.
Steak, chicken and pork are the three meats where sous vide shines.
Perfectly cooked steak and chicken and pork which can be cooked all the way through, but not dry.
Fun fact: You can also make your own deli meat with a sous vide.
For anyone asking, there are two types of cling films. One is heat safe for microwaving (some even use it in oven), another one isn’t heat safe. Make sure the package says it’s heat safe and you’re good. Idk about the science behind it though.
As for the chicken it looks great! But I’m a bit lazy to try though, pounding and assembling everything sounds tiresome.
We’ve done this with pre stuffed pork chops from the store. They turn out so much better.
Oh wow, just gave me an idea to SV stuffed porkchops. Cheers
There is no better way to cook chicken breast. Sous vide is the only way.
Just like 9/11, I’ll never forget.
