Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cups Sauerkraut
- 1 cup Thousand Island dressing
- 8 slices Swiss cheese slices
- 8 slices Rye bread
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
Instructions
Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the crock pot.
Sprinkle the chicken with salt and ground black pepper.
Add the sauerkraut on top of the chicken, spreading it evenly.
Pour the Thousand Island dressing over the sauerkraut and chicken.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on LOW for 4 hours or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
Once the chicken is cooked, use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the crock pot. Mix it well with the sauerkraut and dressing.
Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Spread a thin layer of butter on one side of each slice of rye bread.
Assemble the sandwiches: Place a slice of Swiss cheese on the unbuttered side of a rye bread slice. Spoon a generous portion of the chicken mixture on top, then add another slice of cheese before placing a second slice of bread (buttered side out) on top.
Cook the sandwiches in the skillet or griddle until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Serve warm and enjoy your Chicken Reuben Sandwiches!
