Instructions

Pat the chicken dry. In a small dish combine the salt, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and pepper. Spread evenly over the chicken, and transfer the chicken to a vacuum sealer bag.
Seal. Alternatively, you can use a zip lock bag and the water displacement method.
Let sit at room temperature for an hour, or refrigerate overnight.
Preheat a sous vide machine to 145°F. Add the sealed chicken and cook for 2 hours.
Remove from the sous vide bag, and let rest for 10 minutes or up to an hour.

Searing (optional)

Preheat the oil to medium high heat in a large skillet. Sear for 2 minutes per side, until brown.
