Ruben Chicken

I really modified this dish, the original called for 6 chicken breast, and while I'm a damn good German, I cannot eat that much saurkraut. So here is the modified dish that I made.

2 boneless chicken breast
Light Thousand Island dressing
11oz can of saurkraut
honey dijon mustard
swiss cheese

Spray crockpot with cooking spray. Spread a thin layer of drained saurkraut on the bottom of the pot and put some of the dressing on top. Place chicken breast on top and then cover with more saurkraut and dressing. Place swiss cheese on top of mix and cook for approximately 3 1/2 to 4 hours.

Notes:

You can get away with a smaller can of saurkraut -- tho the large can makes a perfect grease container for in the freezer so if you need a new one go for it lol, you can always reserve what you don't use for another dish.

The saurkraut needs to be drained really well as it leaches even more moisture during cooking and can turn the dish super soggy.

Hold off on putting the cheese into the dish until towards the end, cooking that long it turns into a leathery hocky puck kind of texture among the saurkraut.
