Sous vide chicken fillet; What is sous vide and what do you need?

Sous vide is a cooking method in which we vacuum pack the chicken fillet and then cook it slowly and evenly in a water bath or steam oven with sous vide setting, at a precisely controlled temperature. In this case we are going to do that at 63 degrees. This is the temperature at which chicken has reached perfect cooking. This chicken is perfect to use in salads and soups.

The goal of sous vide is to cook food perfectly, while retaining flavor, texture and juiciness. The process uses lower temperatures than traditional cooking methods, resulting in even cooking and avoidance of excessive heating.
