I have 20 sous vide chicken breast recipes that are about to make your dinners so much more delicious and completely stress free. Perfectly juicy, tender chicken every single time is the name of the game. If you’re new to sous vide, you’re about to fall head over heels.
1. Sous Vide Cajun Chicken Breast
Cajun chicken breasts are just as spicy and tasty as they sound. And you'll let the chicken sit in the spices, too, infusing every mouthful with incredible flavor.
Serve this with red beans and rice, a nice salad, or a cool potato salad. There are no wrong answers!
2. Grilled Rosemary Dijon Chicken
Grilled rosemary and dijon chicken is a fantastic dish that will leave you satisfied. Marinate the chicken in a blend of white wine, vinegar, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic for 4-24 hours.
Then cook it in the sous vide for a couple of hours. Finally, grill it for a couple of minutes on either side and serve!
3. Sous Vide Chicken with Cilantro Lime Avocado Salad
This is my go-to summer lunch: tender sous vide chicken paired with a cool, refreshing salad loaded with creamy avocado and zesty lime. Always a crowd pleaser.
Want to make it even better? Add a glug of tequila and a squeeze of extra lime juice to the bag, then toss in a few strips of orange peel with the chicken. So, so good.
4. Sous Vide Tomato Pesto Chicken
Make this sous vide tomato pesto chicken once, and you'll crave it all the time. The chicken is cooked with pesto, sour cream, sun-dried tomatoes, and more.
Then the marinade is repurposed into an incredible sauce. If you need a good comfort meal or an impressive dish for a dinner party, this is it.
5. Garlic Herb Sous Vide Chicken Breast
Garlic herb sous vide chicken breast is terrific for any night of the week. This chicken breast is made with simple spices and loads of flavor.
Plus, it’s super juicy and tender. Serve it with your favorite sides for an easy and tasty meal the whole family will love.
6. Sous Vide BBQ Chicken
I can’t even count how many times I’ve thrown chicken on the grill and ended up with dry, sad results. At least once a summer, I do it, and it stings every single time.
This recipe kills the guesswork. You get the chicken perfectly juicy in the sous vide bath first, then finish it over the flames for that smoky, charred kick we all crave.
7. Garlic Butter Sous Vide Chicken Breast
Garlic butter? Yes, a thousand times yes.
I am absolutely here for this. This chicken is a total mind blower: easy, made with simple pantry staples, and so irresistibly good you’ll be making it on repeat.
Just tuck the chicken into a bag with butter, smashed garlic, salt, pepper, and whatever fresh herbs you have on hand. Then let the water do its thing.
8. Indian Butter Chicken
Butter chicken is a hugely popular dish that’s packed with flavor. The rich, creamy sauce is made with tomatoes, onions, cream, garlic, and of course, butter. The acidity from the tomatoes keeps it from being overly rich, and the chicken brings just the right amount of meaty goodness.
9. Sous Vide Chicken Breast with Mushroom Sauce
Sous vide chicken breasts with mushroom sauce will become a weekly favorite. It starts out as a simple sous vide chicken.
But it's topped with a creamy, earthy mushroom sauce that's to die for. It’s also quick and easy to throw together once the chicken is cooked.
10. Sous Vide Chicken Breast with Citrus Glaze
Sweet and tangy are the name of the game here, and this citrus glazed chicken absolutely delivers. I’m talking a glossy sauce made with maple syrup, orange, lemon, and lime that’s just incredible.
A subtle kick from red chili flakes keeps things lively. With that precise temperature control, the chicken stays so tender and juicy you’ll wonder where this has been all your life.
11. Sous Vide Teriyaki Chicken
Skip the take-out tonight and make this easy sous vide teriyaki chicken instead! You'll marinate the meat in a mix of soy sauce, sugar, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and oil.
That also becomes the sauce once the chicken is done cooking! Just pour it into a skillet and cook until it's thick and glossy.
12. Sous Vide Buttermilk Fried Chicken
I know what you’re thinking: fried chicken in a sous vide? But, like the BBQ chicken recipe above, it makes total sense when you think about it.
After all, what's the biggest fear of making fried chicken? Having a dark brown, almost burned coating and a raw center.
13. Sous Vide Lemon Chicken Breasts Over Pasta
This sous vide lemon chicken and pasta is a must-make this summer. It’s an Italian-inspired dish with tons of flavor, including citrus and plenty of salt from the capers. It's bright, light, and ideal for balmy nights in July.
14. Sous Vide Curried Chicken Salad
Looking for a fun twist on your usual chicken salad recipe? Try this curry recipe!
It's kind of like coronation chicken in terms of the fruit chutney and curry powder. But you'll also add crisp veggies, juicy grapes, and crunchy pecans. Wow!
15. Sous Vide Chicken Marsala
Date night? Dinner party?
This sous vide Chicken Marsala is your new secret weapon. Pop the chicken in a couple hours before you sit down to eat, then forget about it while it swims.
The sauce comes together in under 10 minutes, so you’ll have a whole hour and a half to set the table and maybe even whip up a little dessert. That’s what I call a win.
16. Sous Vide Ham and Cheddar Stuffed Chicken
If you’ve never made stuffed chicken breast before, start here. It's another one of those dishes I always worry isn't cooked in the middle.
So let's make sure and use the sous vide! All the prep work is done before cooking. You'll cut a nice pocket and stuff it with cheese and ham.
17. Sous Vide Shredded Chicken Breast
This recipe is a fantastic base for shredded chicken. It's mild and pairs well with pretty much everything.
Though you can jazz it up any way you like. So feel free to add heat, citrus, or a bunch of extra herbs. Either way, it'll be juicy and fork-tender in about an hour.
18. Sous Vide Chicken Kebabs with Soy, Ginger, Honey, & Lime
Give your next summer party a huge upgrade and make a big batch of these chicken kebabs. Every bite is impossibly tender and fully loaded with flavor, thanks to the mix of soy, ginger, honey, and lime sauce.
The spicy-sweet balance is insanely good. And the char on the chicken is uber delicious.
19. Sous Vide Chicken Parmesan
Your trusty sous vide is the best way to get perfect chicken Parmesan every time. Again, you'll cook the chicken first, ensuring it's tender and juicy.
Then add the coating and briefly fry it until it's crispy. This is my go-to recipe when using thick chicken breasts. Because nobody wants a burned crust, right?
20. Sous Vide Chicken with Herb Butter
If you’re just dipping your toes into sous vide, this herb butter chicken is the perfect place to begin. It’s wonderfully simple and totally flexible.
I season the chicken with salt, pepper, a handful of fresh herbs, and lemon, then let it swim for an hour or so. Feel free to throw in more herbs or spices if you’re feeling adventurous. But honestly, much of that dreamy flavor comes from the compound butter anyway.
