Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 can (14 oz) sauerkraut, drained and rinsed
- 4 medium potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup white wine (optional)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and paprika, then brown on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add onion and garlic and sauté until softened, about 3 minutes.
- Add sauerkraut and chicken broth to the skillet, stirring to combine. Cook for 5 minutes, then remove from heat.
- In a baking dish, layer sliced potatoes on the bottom. Place chicken breasts on top of the potatoes, then pour the sauerkraut mixture over the chicken.
- Pour white wine over the dish, if using. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
- Remove foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and potatoes are tender.
