Sous vide

Also made mango chutney chicken ahead of time to eat for dinner Thursday, getting home on the late side from a trip and wanted something easy to make, just a little store bought chutney and some chicken breasts cut into strips, SV fat 147* for 2 hours and straight into the freezer. Gonna have it taken out Wednesday night to thaw and throw on a hot pan when I get back from the airport, if this is really as easy as it seems I'll be pre-making a bunch more meals in the future for similar situations, way better than pre-boxed heat up meals

A+, will be doing again soon. Thawed in the fridge, took them out of the bag, let them drip off most of the juices and put on the cast iron grill pan. These turned out amazing, they looked great and tasted on-point, made a little sauce with some leftover mango chutney and sriracha to complete it. I first did this because one of our go-to quick meals is the frozen mango chutney chicken skewers from trader joes, but they were out last time so I just bought the sauce and did them myself (no skewer), I won't be buying the frozen version again.

In fact, I might pre-cook another one or two just to keep in the freezer. Does anybody know if there's an "expiration" or an amount of time cooked chicken like this could stay in the freezer before reducing in quality? I would think no if it stays frozen, but I've been wrong about things before
