I tried this recipe tonight and it was 'OMG' good!!! And its so very easy! The sauerkraut tastes like carmelized onions and the chicken melts in your mouth! You'll need some good italian bread to soak up the delicious juices! This recipe is from one of my favorite cooks named Sadie.

Categories     Chicken

Number Of Ingredients 4

10 - boneless, skinless chicken thighs
12 ounce(s) catalina salad dressing or any french dressing
1-27 ounce(s) can of sauerkraut-drained and rinsed and squeezed of excess water
4 large cloves of garlic-chopped

Steps:

Tips:

  • Choose the right type of sauerkraut: Look for sauerkraut that is labeled as "naturally fermented" or "lacto-fermented." This type of sauerkraut will have a more complex flavor and is better for you than sauerkraut that has been made with vinegar.
  • Rinse the sauerkraut before using: Rinsing the sauerkraut will help to remove any excess salt and vinegar. This will help to prevent the dish from becoming too sour.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Feel free to add other vegetables to the crock pot along with the chicken and sauerkraut. Some good options include carrots, potatoes, onions, and celery.
  • Season the dish to your liking: Don't be afraid to experiment with different seasonings to find a flavor combination that you enjoy. Some good options include garlic, onion powder, black pepper, and caraway seeds.
  • Serve the dish hot: Crock pot chicken and sauerkraut is best served hot. You can serve it over rice, mashed potatoes, or noodles.
