Well here's another cook that did a complete 180 on me, but I have to say it was a delicious detour. On Tuesday, I had two chicken breasts pulled out to thaw. My original plan was to make TallBM's peri peri chicken since I just picked up a bottle of Nandos.
After I seasoned the chicken with SPOG, I went outside to light the grill. I opened the lid and heard a thud...needless to say, it was the rusty bottom that fell out. (WTF!) I ended up vacuum sealing the chicken after it was seasoned and I threw it in the fridge.
The grill is toast. Plan B's dinner was a pepper and egg sandwich.
Today I pulled the chicken out and threw them in the SV at 150 for 1hr and 20 minutes. Once the chicken was finished, I served it over a bed of lettuce with roasted corn, black beans, tortilla strips and Honey Chipotle dressing.
Overall it was an excellent dinner. The dressing was awesome. Here’s the recipe from One Upon a Chef:
Now for some pics:
Chicken out of the bath (150F @ 1hr 20min.)
A quick sear.
The finished salad. I'll definitely make this again!
