Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 cup Sauerkraut, drained
- 4 slices Swiss cheese, sliced
- 0.5 cup Thousand Island dressing
- 8 slices Deli-style corned beef, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray or olive oil.
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes per side until lightly golden. They don’t need to be cooked through at this stage.
Arrange the seared chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish in a single layer.
Top each chicken breast with 2 slices of corned beef, spreading them evenly over the surface.
Evenly distribute the drained sauerkraut on top of the corned beef across all the chicken breasts.
Place one slice of Swiss cheese on top of the sauerkraut on each chicken breast.
Drizzle the Thousand Island dressing over the cheese, spreading it out gently with the back of a spoon.
Transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove the dish from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired and serve warm with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted potatoes or steamed green beans.
