ROAST CHICKEN WITH SAUERKRAUT



Roast Chicken With Sauerkraut image

Provided by Florence Fabricant

Categories     dinner, casseroles, main course

Time 1h40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 small (4 pound) roasting chicken, trussed
Salt and freshly ground pepper
2 cups drained, tightly packed sauerkraut (reserve 1/4 cup of juice)
2 tablespoons cooking oil
3 tablespoons butter
1 cup chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1 bay leaf
1/2 cup dry vermouth
1 cup chicken stock
1 tablespoon cornstarch

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Wipe chicken inside and out and season the cavity with salt and pepper.
  • Rinse the sauerkraut in cold water and drain well.
  • Heat the oil and one tablespoon of butter in a large oven-proof casserole and brown the chicken on all sides. Be careful not to break the skin. Remove the chicken and set aside. Pour off the fat from the casserole.
  • Heat the two tablespoons of butter in the casserole and saute the onion over medium heat until soft. Add the sauerkraut and garlic and cook a few minutes longer. Spread the sauerkraut over the bottom of the casserole and place the chicken on top of it. Put the bay leaf on the chicken, pour the vermouth around the chicken, bring to a simmer, cover and place in oven to roast for one hour.
  • Lift chicken from the casserole, draining any juices from the cavity and rest it on a platter. Using a slotted spoon, drain the sauerkraut from the casserole and spread it around the chicken and cover the platter with foil to keep it warm.
  • Add the chicken stock to casserole and heat juices. Dissolve the cornstarch in the one-quarter cup of cold reserved sauerkraut juice and gradually stir this mixture into the simmering sauce. Season to taste. Pour a little of the sauce over the chicken and pass the rest at the table.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use freshly cooked corned beef. If you don't have time to cook your own, you can buy pre-cooked corned beef from the deli.
  • If you don't have sauerkraut, you can substitute cabbage. Just slice the cabbage thinly and cook it in a little bit of butter until it's softened.
  • Use a good quality Swiss cheese. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the sandwich.
  • If you don't have Thousand Island dressing, you can make your own by mixing together mayonnaise, ketchup, sweet pickle relish, and a little bit of paprika.
  • Serve the Reuben sandwich immediately after it's made. This will help to prevent the bread from getting soggy.

Conclusion:

The Chicken and Sauerkraut Reuben is a delicious and easy-to-make sandwich that's perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. It's also a great way to use up leftover corned beef. With its combination of salty corned beef, tangy sauerkraut, melted Swiss cheese, and creamy Thousand Island dressing, the Chicken and Sauerkraut Reuben is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
