I just got my Anova yesterday and I'm thinking about making chicken soft tacos as one of my first cooks Sunday. I plan on using boneless skinless breasts. Any suggestions on temp and time. I've reasearched online and seen temps of 140 to 160 and times from 2 hours to 8 hours. I plan on putting some salsa verde in the bag as I am cooking.

For shredding I'd recommend 65 C / 150 F for 3-4 hours. It'll be heated through after 1-1.5, but you want to cook it for longer to help it pull apart.
Maybe remove a bag after an hour or so, chill it completely while the rest is cooking, then try cutting it into cubes and see which one you like best. This is how I do my chicken for salads.
Any flavourings you add to the bags need to be at least quickly fried in oil first. You don't want to put raw garlic or rosemary in there.
