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.

Time 1h40m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 (16 ounce) can sauerkraut, drained and pressed

Tips:

  • Use a good quality sauerkraut. If you can, find a brand that is naturally fermented and not pasteurized. This will give your Reuben a more complex flavor.
  • Don't be afraid to add more caraway seeds if you like their flavor. They really add to the authentic Reuben experience.
  • If you don't have Swiss cheese on hand, you can use another type of mild, melty cheese, such as mozzarella or provolone.
  • Serve your Reuben sandwich on rye bread. This is the traditional bread for a Reuben, and it holds up well to all the ingredients.
  • If you're making a lot of Reuben sandwiches, you can assemble them ahead of time and then grill them when you're ready to eat. Just be sure to wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or foil so they don't dry out.

Conclusion:
