Ingredients

2tablespoonsextra-virgin olive oil

4ounceschopped kielbasa

1poundboneless, skinless chicken thighs, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces

8cupsthinly sliced cabbage

1largeonion, thinly sliced

¾cuprefrigerated sauerkraut, drained

1tablespoonwhole-grain mustard

½teaspoonground pepper

¼teaspoonsalt

2tablespoonswhole-wheat flour

2cupslow-fat milk

2cupsshredded GruyèreorSwiss cheese, divided

1cuppacked fresh rye breadcrumbs

Directions

Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add kielbasa and cook, stirring occasionally, until crispy, about 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the kielbasa to one half of a paper-towel-lined plate (do not wipe out the pot).

Add chicken to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned but not completely cooked, about 4 minutes. With the slotted spoon, transfer the chicken to the other half of the plate with the kielbasa, reserving the drippings in the pot.

Add cabbage and onion to the drippings in the pot; cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in sauerkraut, mustard, pepper and salt. Sprinkle with flour and cook, stirring constantly, until well incorporated, about 1 minute. Add milk and cook, stirring constantly and scraping to release any browned bits from the bottom of the pot, until simmering and thickened, about 4 minutes.

Remove from heat and stir in 1 1/2 cups cheese. Stir in the chicken. Transfer to the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with the kielbasa, breadcrumbs and the remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Bake on the center rack until bubbling and the chicken is completely cooked through, about 20 minutes. Turn the oven to broil and move the casserole to the top rack. Broil until browned on top, about 1 minute. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)

  • Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
