1. PREPARE SOUS VIDE BATH: Fill water in the sous vide machine as per manufacturers instructions (not too high). Set the temperature to 144F (for soft, moist breasts) and allow water to heat to that temperature.
2. PREPARE CHICKEN: Season generously both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper and place a few sprigs of thyme on top (or sprinkle lightly with dried thyme). Fold back top of sous vide bags about an inch to create a flap (this ensures no food touches the top of the bag where it gets sealed). Insert one or two chicken fillets per bag (I do 2 in one bag), ensuring no overlap. Unfold the flap and vacuum seal the bag using a vacuum sealer. Note 1 for alternative sealing.
3. COOK CHICKEN SOUS VIDE: When temperature of sous vide machine reaches 144F, submerge the vacuum sealed bags with the chicken into the water. Cover and cook for minimum 90 minutes and a maximum of 4 hours. Note 2.
4. MAKE GLAZE: While chicken is cooking, whisk together all glaze ingredients in a small saucepan. Stir. Heat to boiling, then reduce heat to medium and continue to cook, about 8-10 minutes until sauce is reduced and slightly thickened (it should coat the back of a spoon).
