Sous Vide Coconut Chicken with Peanut Dipping Sauce

Anova Culinary

This simple recipe calls for you to sous vide the chicken in coconut milk. It's a technique that adds a wonderful creamy flavour to the meat. You then slice it and serve the tender pieces of chicken with a coconut-infused peanut dipping sauce. Because keeping it simple doesn't mean you have to sacrifice flavor.
