Sous Vide Chicken and Sauteed Vegetables Recipe

Sous vide chicken breast is always flavorful and moist, but you don't always just want to eat it by itself. This recipe combines it with a simple vegetable stir fry that bulks it out and bumps the flavor, all the while still being super simple to put together. It's a great go-to weeknight meal when you want something easy to make that is still tasty.

You can use any mix of vegetables you want, I added a few of my favorites I think go well together, but I also enjoy broccoli, summer squash, and snow peas.

I prefer my chicken cooked at 141°F (60.6°C) for long enough to pasteurize it. It usually takes 2 to 4 hours, but you can get a specific time from my Sous Vide Timing Ruler. You can bump the temperature up to 145°F (62.8°C) or 150°F (65.6°C) if you prefer it more well done, or drop it down to 135°F (57.2°C) for moister chicken.

When I want to try some more flavorful chicken, I often turn to Crowd Cow.
