3-4 garlic cloves
8 sun-dried tomatoes
Parsley
Basil/Garlic Pesto of your choice
Heavy cream

Black pepper
Directions
-
Step 1
Set your Anova Sous Vide Precision Cooker to 66.5ºC / 151.7ºF
-
Step 2
Peel 3-4 garlic cloves. Trim the chicken thighs slightly to remove excessive fat, and also make sure there are no bones or other hard parts left. Put the chicken thighs in a bowl and add salt and black pepper. Using a garlic press, press 3-4 garlic cloves and then stir so the salt, pepper and garlic are spread over the thighs.
-
Step 3
Fold the chicken thighs and add to a vacuum bag so the thighs stack up, side by side. Seal the bag using a vacuum sealer and then drop it into the sous vide bath, cooking the chicken for 6 hours.

Finishing Steps
-
Step 0
Shred the sun-dried tomatoes and basil. Put aside and save half of the shredded tomatoes, and 1/3 of the parsley for garnishing. Fill a large pot with water and boil up and richly salted water for the pasta, so it is ready when it is time to drop it in.
-
Step 1
Remove bag from the sous vide bath, pour the contents in a bowl. Save the juice!
-
Step 2
Heat up a cast-iron pan on very high heat, add cooking oil and butter and quickly give the chicken thighs a sear, then put aside.
-
Step 3
Lower the heat and let the pan cool off a bit. Cook the pasta according to the instructions.
-
Step 4
Sear the garlic. Add cream, pesto and tomato paste, 2/3 of the parsley and 1/2 of the tomatoes. Stir and simmer for a few minutes so the sauce thickens while adding ½ cup of the juice from the sous vide bag.
-
Step 5
Rinse the cooked pasta.
-
Step 6
Very gently mix pasta, sauce and roughly chopped chicken thighs. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
-
Step 7
Add the mix to a plate, and garnish with the 1/2 tomatoes and 1/3 of parsley save up from before. Enjoy!
