SAUCY CAJUN CHICKEN BREASTS

Quick, bottled barbecue sauce, salad dressing and chicken breasts. What could possibly be easier?! The sauce is tangy, spicy and barely sweet. Note: Do NOT overcook the chicken! The closer to barely done it is, while still cooked through, the juicier and more tender it will be. It seems 99% of all restaurants grossly over cook their chicken breasts!

Steps:

  • Place frozen chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag and cover with salad dressing. Seal bag and place in refrigerator and marinate until chicken is thawed (marinating frozen breasts until thawed permeates the meat with the dressing flavors).
  • Lightly oil grill and preheat to high heat.
  • Remove chicken breasts from marinade and grill 5 to 7 minutes each side, until they are barely done. Coat with barbecue sauce and cook just a few minutes more. Don't overcook, but check to make sure that the chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.

SOUS VIDE CAJUN BONELESS CHICKEN BREAST WITH CREAMY PAN SAUCE

Flavorful Cajun seasoning, cream, and Parmesan cheese are the stars in this dish, as is the incredibly juicy chicken that results from cooking sous vide. Traditionally you need to cook chicken to 165 degrees F (74 degrees C) or until no longer pink, however with sous vide cooking, you can achieve the same safety with extended cooking time at lower temperatures. Using an ice bath will lower the chicken temperature slightly, so that it does not overcook during the searing step. If you prefer a lot of sauce, double the sauce ingredients.

Sous Vide Cajun Boneless Chicken Breast with Creamy Pan Sauce image

Steps:

  • Fill a large pot with water and place a sous vide cooker into the water. Set temperature to 140 degrees F (60 degrees C) according to manufacturer's directions.
  • Pound chicken breasts with a meat mallet to an even 3/4- to 1-inch thickness. Season both sides with Cajun seasoning. Place chicken into vacuum bags and seal using a vacuum sealer.
  • Lower bags into the water, making sure they are fully submerged, and set timer for 1 hour. When timer is up, remove chicken from water and immediately place into an ice bath for 5 minutes. Remove chicken from bag and pat completely dry with paper towels.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of butter and avocado oil in a large skillet over high heat until just smoking. Sear chicken for 30 to 45 seconds per side, moving the chicken around in the skillet to get all sides evenly browned. Remove to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
  • Melt butter for sauce in the same skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and saute until fragrant, 15 to 30 seconds. Whisk in chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Cook until slightly reduced down, 3 to 4 minutes. Whisk in heavy cream and black pepper and return to a light simmer. Cook, whisking continually, until thickened. Stir in Parmesan cheese, 1 tablespoon at a time, until melted and combined. Taste sauce and adjust salt, if needed. Sprinkle in thyme and drizzle sauce over chicken.
