Ingredients

4 servings

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (6–8 oz each)
1 tsp kosher salt
½ tsp black pepper, freshly ground
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp smoked paprika
4 sprigs fresh thyme
2 tbsp unsalted butter
1 tbsp neutral oil (such as avocado or canola oil)

For serving

lemon wedges, for serving (optional)

Instructions

1
Attach the immersion circulator to a large pot or deep container and fill with water. Set the circulator to 145°F (63°C) — this temperature produces chicken that is fully safe and noticeably juicier than higher-temperature cooking — and allow the water to come to temperature.
2
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, combine the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Season the chicken evenly on all sides with the spice mixture.
