Instructions
- Preheat your sous vide water bath to 65°C.
- In a bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Coat the chicken breasts in the mixture and seal them in a sous vide bag.
- Cook the chicken in the sous vide bath for 55 minutes.
- While the chicken is cooking, rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a pot, combine the rinsed rice and water, then bring to a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let it sit for 10 minutes, then fluff with a fork and stir in chopped parsley and chives.
- For the vegetables, trim the asparagus and snap peas. In a pan, heat olive oil over medium heat, then sauté the vegetables for 5-7 minutes until tender. Season with salt and pepper.
- Once the chicken is done, remove it from the bag and sear in a hot pan for 1-2 minutes per side for a golden crust.
- Serve the chicken over the herb rice with sautéed vegetables on the side.
