Why are my skinless boneless chicken breasts dry?

Your chicken meat coming out dry has nothing to do with whether or not you cook the chicken breast in liquid. 

It has everything to do with the temperature at which the meat is cooked. When high heat comes into contact with meat proteins like skinless chicken breast. The proteins contract and expel the moisture. 

That it is why it becomes dry.


Why are my boneless chicken breasts tough?

The condition that causes chicken breasts to be tougher is the hard or woody fibers which meat is made of. As much as 10 percent of boneless and skinless breast meat may show signs of woody breast according to meat experts.

Hard or woody fibers is not harmful to humans even if you eat it.


Is a sous vide chicken breast good?

Yes! It is tender, juicy and yummy.

Skinless Boneless Chicken Breast Sous Vide is safe to eat even though it is not cooked to 165°F. 

The USDA recommends cooking the chicken to 165°F to pasteurize it. Pasteurization is actually based on both the temperature and how long the temperature is maintained. 

The recommended 165°F is really the best temperature to pasteurize it.

However, cooking the chicken to 145° F for 9 minutes will also pasteurize it. This will reduce the bacteria in the chicken without overcooking it.

Can you eat sous vide without searing?


YES. All sorts of things are okay without searing. Vegetables, fresh eggs, white meats (lobster, chicken, crab), sauces and many others. 

If you are so lazy that you do not care about searing meat, sous vide cooking has some great easy options. 

Just think of your food as a frequently served steamed or boiled food. If you do not like the color of the meat cooked in sous vide method, you can top it with your favorite sauce or ketchup (try mango ketchup, plum ketchup, smoked tomato ketchup) to hide its meaty color.



Do you rest meat after sous vide?


Traditionally some people fanatically believed that cooked steaks need to rest (grilling meat myths busted) before serving. 

Resting means that meat should be placed aside and covered with aluminum foil or a pot cover for five to 10- 15 minutes before they are cut and served. 

This resting period is to allow time for the temperature gradient within the steak to even out.

Sous vide meat can be served immediately after searing without resting.



Can you sous vide chicken breast in marinade?


YES. Commonly, flavoring marinades (olive oil with seasonings) are okay to use at the same time you sous vide the meat, or to leave on during the sous vide process. 

You might lose some meat penetration if you do not let the meat submerged in the marinade first but cooking it will not spoil the flavor of the food.



Why is my sous vide chicken rubbery?


You cooked it at a very low temperature. Sous vide cooking is intended for meat where you want the protein to remain tender.

Can you stop and start sous vide?


a) You can just put the food on ice or fridge and continue at a later time that is convenient for you. Putting on ice or fridge will stop the cooking process.

Reheat the meat with sous vide circulator at 100° until warmed through, about 1 hour, before searing with culinary torch or with the use of skillet.



Why sous vide is bad?


Sous vide is bad if you do not know how to follow simple procedure.

a) Cooking in plastic is a major sous vide safety concern. If you use food grade plastic this is not an issue.

b) For the reason that food is cooked at low temperature in sous vide method, harmful bacteria may grow and will cause food poisoning.


Why sous vide is bad
Harmful bacteria can cause food poisoning

Between 4°C and 60°C (or 40°F and 140°F) is the “Danger Zone.” Keep food out of this temperature range because bacteria will multiply rapidly. Between 0°C and 4°C (or 32°F and 40°F), most bacteria will survive but will not multiply quickly.

Sous vide foods are usually cooked at lower temperatures than traditional cooking (less than 80°C or 176°F). However, if you heat food at acceptable low temperature and LONG ENOUGH it will kill the bacteria according to the USDA. , most bacteria will actually be destroyed after a few hours, making pasteurization possible.

The precision temperature control of sous-vide cooking means it is actually safe for home use.
