Sous Vide Chicken Breasts Finished With BBQ Sauce

Seasoned six boneless and skinless chicken half breasts with Costco salt free seasoning.  Here's half of them—


Cooked them at 140°F for slightly more than two hours then seared them on a hot gas grill and painted them with my favorite BBQ sauce.  They were cooked perfectly from top to bottom in the thick portion of the breast and equally well in the thin portion.  You can't achieve that uniformity with any other cooking method.

Seasoned red and yellow pepper spears with Penzey's salt free Mural of Flavor.


Tossed them in a wire cooking basket on a hot gas grill—lid down.  Stirred frequently.


Added small tomatoes, quartered, when the peppers began to show char—lid down again.  Stirred.


Cooked the tomato/pepper mix, lid down, until the tomatoes just began to shrivel.


Served with a quinoa/rice pilaf.  Nice plain meal.  Couldn't have been easier.

I haven't tried sous vide chicken.  I need to move that up the list.  They looked really good.

You a 100 percent correct about the uniformity Paul. I was simply amazed on how the breasts turned out when I did them Sous Vide.
Everything looks great!

I continue my mission to learn the best practices for sous vide.  Many of you have made many more cooks that me, so I want to learn from you.  My question is, what seems to be better after the cook, pan searing or butane torch searing?  I have not yet tried the torch method, so have nothing to compare.  I have one thing to recommend on the sous vide method, and that is using Weber Rib Rack inside a 20 quart roaster.  I know that Capt. Jack has used this roaster, and I have one too, and am using the rib rack to help spread out the cooking packs.  The roaster and the Dork controller with a bubbler to circulate the water seems to be the best low cost method that I have seen out there.
