Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 apples, cored, peeled and sliced
- 2 shallots, finely chopped
- 4 ounces seasonal mushrooms
- 1/4 cup Calvados liquor
- 1 cup apple cider
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat a sous vide water bath to 160 degrees F, using an immersion circulator head. Place the chicken in vacuum bags and sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Seal the bags with a vacuum sealer and then submerge in the heated water. Cook for 30 minutes.
- Remove the chicken from the bags and pat dry with paper towels. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat and gently lay the breast of chicken in the skillet. Cook on each side for 1 minute and remove.
- Heat the butter in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the apples, shallots and mushrooms and brown for 3 minutes. Add the Calvados and flame with a lighter. When all the alcohol is evaporated, add the cider and let it simmer for 3 minutes. Add the cream and mix well. Then add the chicken. Place the chicken on plates, topped with the apples and mushrooms. Coat with a generous amount of sauce.

Delicious! With a few adjustments (because I read at the bottom of the post that it was a recipe for an industrial/ restaurant and not for a home setting, I made a couple small changes) .
I Sous Vide the chicken in my Instant Pot for 60 minutes (as recommended by the manual). I initially sauteed the shallots & mushrooms in olive oil and didn’t add the butter until I added the apples (so the butter wouldn’t scorch). And I simmered the almost completed sauce a bit longer to reduce it some more before adding in the cooked chicken.
Otherwise, I followed the recipe exactly (ingredients, quantities, & sequence)
I served mine with egg noodles. Hubby & I loved it. Delicious!
Just got a sous vide and wasn’t quite sure what to do with it. This was an excellent first dish!
Took me some time to figure out the Sous Vide cooker, but once I figured it out the process was pretty cool. The Chicken was tender and the sauce with the apples after reduced made for great flavor. Great recipe, interesting cooking process. I am excited to try more with this cooker.
