Boneless chicken breasts cooked over sauerkraut and covered in BBQ sauce. This sounds a little different, but I assure you, it is delicious! It is one of my family's favorites. The BBQ sauce makes the sauerkraut a little sweet. I like to serve this dish with mashed potatoes.

Time 30m

Yield 30 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup half-and-half
1 tablespoon dry sherry
2 cups chopped cooked chicken breasts
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
salt
black pepper
1 -2 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, for garnish (or chopped scallion)

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
  • Whisk in the flour and cook, stirring constantly, until bubbling, about 1 minute.
  • Whisk in the broth, half-and-half, and sherry.
  • Bring to a boil, whisking frequently.
  • Decrease to a simmer and cook, stirring, until nice and thick, 3-5 minutes.
  • Stir in the chicken, the thyme, and salt and pepper to taste, and warm through.
  • Serve garnished with parsley or scallions.
  • Serve over egg noodles, toast, or waffles.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the chicken, make sure to not overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly and will result in steamed chicken instead of seared chicken.
  • Use a meat thermometer: To ensure that the chicken is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Make sure the sauce is thick enough: The sauce for this dish should be thick and creamy. If it is too thin, you can add a cornstarch slurry to thicken it up.
  • Serve over rice or noodles: This dish is typically served over rice or noodles. This will help to soak up the delicious sauce.

Conclusion:

Creamed German chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is seared until golden brown and then simmered in a creamy sauce made with mushrooms, onions, and paprika. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
