All the flavors of a classic Reuben sandwich, stuffed inside a chicken breast. Reuben Stuffed Chicken is an easy dinner idea that is a total crowd pleaser!
Use a sharp knife to slice a pocket in the side of each chicken breast. Fold 2 ounces of pastrami and 1 slice of cheese together and stuff into each chicken breast. Spoon in sauerkraut.
Use toothpicks as needed to secure fillings inside if desired. Brush outside of chicken with thousand island dressing.
In a shallow dish, stir together bread crumbs, caraway seeds, salt and pepper. Dip chicken into bread crumbs and roll to coat.
Heat olive oil and melt butter in a large oven-safe heavy skillet over medium high heat. Sear chicken breasts in pan for 3 to 4 minutes per side.
Transfer skillet to oven to finish cooking, 20-25 minutes or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove toothpicks before serving.
