Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 cup Sauerkraut, drained
- 4 slices Swiss cheese, sliced
- 0.5 cup Thousand Island dressing
- 8 slices Deli-style corned beef, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray or olive oil.
Step 2
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Step 3
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes per side until lightly golden. They don’t need to be cooked through at this stage.
Step 4
Arrange the seared chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish in a single layer.
Step 5
Top each chicken breast with 2 slices of corned beef, spreading them evenly over the surface.
Step 6
Evenly distribute the drained sauerkraut on top of the corned beef across all the chicken breasts.
Step 7
Place one slice of Swiss cheese on top of the sauerkraut on each chicken breast.
Step 8
Drizzle the Thousand Island dressing over the cheese, spreading it out gently with the back of a spoon.
Step 9
Transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Step 10
Remove the dish from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 11
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired and serve warm with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted potatoes or steamed green beans.
