In this video we featured a thermometer by Thermoworks called the MK4. I can't imagine cooking without it. It is accurate, fast, waterproof, has a smart back light function, auto rotating display, can be held in either hand, auto sleep mode to save battery life, and smart sensors to auto turn on when needed. Great for home and commercial kitchens alike.
These thermometers make excellent gift ideas as well. If you want to learn more about them click the link below.

Recipe:
3 pounds of fresh broccoli florets
5 pounds of boneless skinless chicken breast
1 cup of white wine
4 cans of condensed mushroom soup
8 oz softened cream cheese (room temp)
8 oz sour cream
3 cups of cheddar cheese
2 teaspoons of good Curry Powder
2 Tablespoons Lemon Juice
Start by cooking your chicken. You can smoke, grill, bake, or boil. However you cook your chicken a great thing to do before you cook is to prepare a quick brine. This helps retain lots of moisture and seasons the chicken from the inside out. In you want to brine here is a great way to do it.
Brine Recipe:
1 Quart of water
1 quart of ice water
1/2 cup of salt
1/4 cup of sugar
thyme
bay leaves
peppercorn
2 cloves of garlic minced.
Take 1 quart of water and begin to heat on the stove. Add the salt, sugar, pepper, garlic and the rest of the aromatics. Bring to a simmer. Remove from heat and add the quart of ice water. This will help cool it way down. Once the temp ready 65-75F you can begin to add your chicken. Make sure they are all submerged under the brine and wait 30 minutes. After 30 minutes take your chicken out, rinse them off, and pat them dry. They are now ready to cook!!
To bake the chicken rub a little olive oil on the front and back of your chicken breast. Lightly season with garlic salt and pepper. Preheat your oven to 425F and bake till the internal temp reaches 155F (this is the sweet spot).. Remove from the oven and let your chicken rest for 5 minutes before cutting into small cubes. Set to the side:
Prepare the broccoli: You can either steam or blanch the broccoli. I like to blanch it. Take your broccoli florets and put them in a pot of salted boiling water for 3 minutes. Quickly remove from the pot and either spray with cold water or place them in an ice water bath to stop the cooking. Set them aside.
The sauce: To prepare the sauce heat the wine on the stovetop and boil for 1-2 minutes (this will boil out the alcohol). In a bowl mix the sour cream, cream cheese, wine, mushroom soup, cheese, curry, and lemon juice together till well incorporated.
To assemble: In a casserole dish or freezer friendly container combine the broccoli and chicken. Pour your sauce over the top evenly and coat with more cheddar cheese (or a bread crumb parmesan cheese topping). Bake at 350F for 30 minutes and enjoy.
To freeze simply cover your freezer friendly container with foil or a lid and freeze. If you are using sous vide bags then add the broccoli, chicken, and sauce to the sous vide bag. Vacuum seal and freeze.
To reheat bake the frozen divan in a 350F preheated oven for 30-40 minutes. Till warmed through. If you have boilable bags the boil your bag for 20 minutes and serve. Great by itself or over rice.
