My close friend, Sarah Anderson, who started this blog with me shared this recipe several years ago and I loved it! It’s simple, yet flavorful. Sarah granted me permission to share this recipe with you today, and permission to add it into our next ebook that will be coming out in January 2019! I hope you love it!
You only need four ingredients to make this Reuben Chicken:
- Chicken
- Sauerkraut
- Swiss cheese
- Thousand Island dressing.
The best light Thousand Island dressing.
Since Thousand Island dressing a major component to any “Reuben”, I did a little research to find which light Thousand Island dressing was the most loved. Wish Bone brand got the award. With 4.3 out of 5 stars on Amazon, this dressing topples over the other brands.
If you are a fan of Reubens, you will love this simple Chicken Reuben recipe. But if you are looking for a Reuben SANDWICH, the Turkey Reuben Sandwiches that are 6 WW FreeStyle SP per sandwich are where it’s at.
