Ingredients

Mushroom Cream Sauce

  • 8 ounces sliced white mushrooms
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon bacon fat (substitute butter)
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • ¼ cup sherry
  • 1 sprig fresh thyme
  • ½ cup heavy cream

Instructions

  • Place the chicken breasts in a ziplock bag or between sheets of plastic wrap and use a mallet to pound the breasts into ¼ - ½" pieces.
  • Season the chicken with the salt and pepper.
  • Combine the bacon, cream cheese, sundried tomatoes and Parmesan cheese in a bowl and mix to combine.
  • Spread the cream cheese mixture in the center of each breast, leaving about 1" on each side.
  • Gently roll each breast up.
  • Place the stuffed chicken breasts in a vacuum seal bag and place in the freezer for 30-60 minutes to firm up the cream cheese.
  • Heat a sous vide water bath to 145F degrees.
  • Remove the chicken from the freezer and vacuum seal the bag. 
  • Cook for 1 hour in the sous vide water bath.
  • Remove the bag and place in an ice bath for 5 minutes.
  • Remove the rolled breasts from the vacuum seal bag carefully.
  • Slice and serve with the mushroom cream sauce.

Mushroom Cream Sauce

  • Heat the bacon fat over medium heat and add the mushrooms and salt.
  • Cook until the mushrooms start to release their liquid, about 3-5 minutes. 
  • Add the garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes.
  • Add the sherry and thyme and cook for 1 minute.
  • Add the cream and simmer for 1-2 minutes, until slightly thickened. 

Notes

  1. Experiment with different fillings, such as spinach and cheese or BBQ pulled pork.
  2. Serve with a side of roasted vegetables for an easy and complete meal.
  3. For added crunch, try breading and pan-frying the chicken before serving. Be careful to cook quickly to avoid drying out the breast.
  4. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat by placing in sous vide water bath until heated through (use a zip lock bag).
  5. For a dairy-free option, use a nut-based cheese for the filling and coconut cream to replace the heavy cream.
