Sous Vide and Seared Chicken over Herbed Rice, all done in one pot.

How is this possible?

Using the Magnifique Everyday Rice Cooker, which comes with a sous vide mode, a searing mode, and of course a rice cooking mode.

This recipe combines the convenience of a rice cooker with the gourmet technique of sous vide, resulting in a delicious meal with minimal fuss. Enjoy your cooking!

Ingredients:

• 2 chicken breasts
• Fresh herbs (thyme, rosemary, parsley), finely chopped
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 cup of long-grain white rice
• 1.5 cups of chicken broth
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Olive oil

Instructions:

1. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and some of the herbs. Place them in sous vide bags with a little olive oil and the minced garlic. Vacuum seal the bags.

2. Fill the rice cooker with water up to the sous vide level and set it to the sous vide function at 65°C (149°F). Place the chicken in the water bath and let it cook for 1 hour for a tender and juicy texture.

3. Once the chicken is done, carefully remove it from the bags and pat it dry with paper towels.

4. For a delicious golden exterior, empty the pot and then set it to sear mode. Wait for the pot to heat up and then quickly sear it in a with a bit of olive oil for 1-2 minutes on each side. Remove the chicken and let rest.

5. Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and helps the rice to be fluffy.

6. Combine the rinsed rice, chicken broth, a pinch of salt, and a mix of your chosen herbs in the rice cooker. Start the rice cooking function.
7. Cook the rice until the broth has steamed off and it has a soft and fluffy texture.

Cut up the chicken and mix it in, or serve on top and garnish with herbs. Enjoy!
