    Very good and pretty easy if you discount the Sous vide time. I served with ramen noodles instead of a side of rice which was a nice change.

    This turned out really well! The chicken was cooked through perfectly without being overlooked at all. After the chicken was finished in a hot skillet, I was thrilled when I saw the beautiful caramelization—just like in my favorite Vietnamese restaurant. Even if you do not make the pan sauce (which was very tasty) I can see a lot of uses for the chicken alone.
