Place the Joule™ Turbo Sous Vide inside a pot or large vessel (max 8 quarts) and place on a trivet. Fill with cool tap water until approximately halfway between the minimum and maximum fill lines and keep the pot uncovered.
Place the chicken in a microwave-safe, zipper-lock freezer bag, then sprinkle with salt and add the oil. If cooking 2 breasts, place flat, in the bag side by side, ensuring the breasts are separated. If cooking more, use multiple bags.
In Breville+, press Set Time & Temp at the bottom of the screen and follow the prompts to customize the cooking of your chicken. Once set, lower the bag into the water against the side of the pot, while using a spatula to push it three-quarters of the way down. This will remove the air and ensures it does not float. Seal the bag and Start Turbo.
When the timer signals that the chicken is done, heat a grill pan over high heat. Carefully remove the bag from the water. Place the chicken on a paper towel lined cooling rack set over a tray and pat dry.
Only when the pan starts to smoke (this will prevent overcooking and sticking), add the chicken and sear for 30 seconds on each side. Transfer the chicken to a cooling rack set over a tray and rest for 1 minute. Repeat as necessary to cook all chicken breasts.
Transfer the chicken to a board or serving plate. Slice and sprinkle with freshly ground pepper and sea salt to serve.
