Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cups Sauerkraut
- 1 cup Thousand Island dressing
- 8 slices Swiss cheese
- 4 slices Rye bread
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 teaspoon Caraway seeds (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 for greasing Cooking spray
Instructions
Grease the inside of your crock pot with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the crock pot and season with salt and pepper.
Spread the sauerkraut evenly over the chicken breasts.
Drizzle the Thousand Island dressing over the sauerkraut layer.
Lay the Swiss cheese slices over the dressing to form an even layer.
In a small pan, melt the butter over medium heat and toast the rye bread slices until golden and crisp on both sides. Once toasted, tear the bread into bite-sized pieces.
Sprinkle the toasted rye bread pieces and caraway seeds (if using) over the cheese layer in the crock pot.
Cover and cook on low for 4 hours or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C).
Serve hot, scooping up layers of chicken, sauerkraut, cheese, and toasted bread for each portion.
