How To Defrost Chicken With Sous Vide

Step 1

Fill a large pot with enough cold water to cover the immersion circulator and to fully cover the bagged frozen chicken breast.

Step 2

Set the immersion circulator in the pot and set it to its lowest temperature.

Step 3

Place the frozen chicken breast in a freezer-safe zip-top bag and remove as much air as possible.

Step 4

Submerge the bag of chicken in the pot of water. The chicken should be fully submerged. You can place a weight on it or a heavy kitchen tool to make sure it stays down.

Step 5

Turn on the sous vide and let it run for 30-45 minutes or until the chicken is fully defrosted. The time it takes will depend on the size and thickness of the frozen chicken.

Step 6

Remove the chicken from the bag and cook according to your recipe.
