Instructions

Preheat water to 150°F (66°C) using a sous vide machine.
Season chicken breast with salt and pepper to taste.
Place the chicken breast in a half-gallon Stasher silicone bag in a single layer. Squeeze the air out as much as possible and seal it. (You can also use a zip-top bag or a vacuum-sealer bag.)
When the water is ready, submerge the chicken breast and set the timer for 1 hour (or up to 4 hours).
Once the timer goes off, remove the bag from the water bath. Let it cool briefly, or put it into an ice-water bath to cool quickly.
Transfer the chicken to a large bowl. Use two forks and shred the chicken.
Store the shredded chicken in its juices in an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to 4 days. For extended storage, freeze in an airtight container or sealed freezer bag for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before using.
