Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs. boneless skinless chicken breasts cubed
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 tsp. ground pepper
  • 1 tsp. garlic powder

  • 8 oz. swiss cheese
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Add the cubed chicken to the slow cooker. Sprinkle over the salt, pepper, garlic powder and caraway seeds. Stir with a spoon or use clean hands to mix the chicken and seasonings together.
  • Add the drained sauerkraut over the chicken in an even layer.
  • Next spread over the thousand island dressing.
  • Then add the cheese slices over evenly.
  • Cook on low for 5 hours or until the chicken is cooked through and the casserole is bubbling.
  • Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Thinly sliced chicken breasts can be used instead of cubed.
  • Cubed corned beef (raw) that is rinsed very well can be used.
  • Drain your sauerkraut well for a less soggy casserole.
  • Other types of cheeses that work well are provolone, fontina or cheddar.
  • A touch of mustard added to the chicken layer can add uniqueness to the dish.
  • To store, place the leftover casserole in containers and store for up to three days in the fridge or three months in the freezer.
My Serving Suggestions:
  • A fresh green salad will add texture contrast to the meal.
  • Any steamed green vegetable is a great addition.
  • You can't go wrong with Irish soda bread or buttered rye bread, or pumpernickel bread.
