Cooking Steps
-
Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry produce.
-
Slice potatoes into ¼-inch-thick rounds (no need to peel!). Drain sauerkraut. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Halve, peel, and thinly slice onion.
-
Toss potatoes on a baking sheet with a large drizzle of oil, thyme, salt, and pepper; spread out in a single layer (this ensures that the potatoes get crispy!).
-
Roast on top rack until browned and tender, 18-20 minutes.
-
While potatoes roast, pat chicken* dry with paper towels; season all over with salt and pepper.
-
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook until browned and cooked through, 5-7 minutes per side.
-
Turn off heat; transfer chicken to a plate and tent with foil to keep warm. Wipe out pan.
-
While chicken cooks, in a medium bowl, combine cream sauce base, stock concentrate, mustard, sauerkraut, and ½ cup water (1 cup for 4 servings).
-
Heat a drizzle of oil and 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) in pan used for chicken over medium heat. Add scallion whites and onion; cook, stirring occasionally, until onion begins to soften and brown, 2-4 minutes.
-
Sprinkle flour over top and cook, stirring, until combined and lightly browned, 30-60 seconds.
-
Add cream sauce mixture; cook, stirring, until sauce has thickened, 1-2 minutes.
-
Divide potatoes and chicken between plates. Spoon Dijon-sauerkraut sauce over chicken. Garnish with scallion greens and serve.

Review summary
Updated on Sep 2026- Flavor: The creamy Dijon-sauerkraut sauce was a pleasant surprise for many, delivering a tangy, savory flavor that felt unique and comforting 🍲. Some found the sauerkraut flavor got lost in the sauce, while others felt the sauce was too onion-forward; using half the onion helped balance it.
- Ease of prep: Straightforward to prepare, with the potatoes and chicken cooking simultaneously to keep things efficient. Slicing the potatoes thinly is key — a mandolin makes quick work of it.
- Suggestions: Add caraway seeds for a more authentic German flavor, and consider serving with a green vegetable like broccoli or asparagus for color and balance. If you want more sauerkraut flavor, increase the amount slightly or drain it less thoroughly before adding to the sauce.
- Leftovers: The dish tasted even better the next day, with the sauce flavors deepening overnight.
