Ingredients

Main Ingredients

3 Chicken Breasts
1 can Sauerkraut (about 14 oz)
8 oz Swiss Cheese, sliced
1/2 cup Thousand Island Dressing (use a low-cal option for a lighter meal)

Instructions

Prepare the Sauerkraut: Drain the sauerkraut thoroughly to remove excess liquid. This prevents the dish from becoming too watery during cooking.
Layer the Dish:
- Place the chicken breasts in a greased baking dish.
- Spread the drained sauerkraut evenly over the chicken.
- Layer the Swiss cheese slices on top of the sauerkraut.
- Drizzle the Thousand Island dressing over everything for added flavor.
Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

🕒 For best results, cover the baking dish with aluminum foil for the first hour of baking to keep the chicken moist, then remove it for the final 15 minutes to allow the cheese to melt and get bubbly.

Tips for Success

Marinate for Flavor: For an extra depth of flavor, consider marinating the chicken in the Thousand Island dressing for a couple of hours before baking. This tenderizes the meat and infuses it with delicious taste!
Add Veggies: Feel free to throw in some sliced bell peppers or onions with the sauerkraut for a vibrant and nutritious twist.

Variations

Pork Alternative: Substitute chicken with pork chops or pork loin for a different but equally tasty experience. The flavors of sauerkraut pair wonderfully with pork! 🌭
Spicy Kick: Add a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the dressing for a bit of heat.
Herb Infusion: Sprinkle some fresh herbs like thyme or parsley on top before serving for a pop of color and freshness.

Enjoy this hearty Swiss and Sauerkraut Chicken as a satisfying centerpiece to your meal! 🍽️

Three chicken breasts. One can of sauerkraut, Bravarian. Eight ounces of sliced Swiss cheese. Twelve ounces of Thousand Island Dressing, low calorie. Drain and something. Hmm. Okay. Anyway, place chicken in baking dish. Cover with kraut, Swiss cheese, and dressing. One hour and fifteen minutes at 350 degrees.
