Cajun Chicken Reuben Sandwich

When the leftover corned beef reubens are not enough, these can be enjoyed anytime!

Cajun Chicken Reubens

 
4 slices pumpernickel bread

4 slices Swiss cheese

2 slices Cajun chicken deli meat

1 cup sauerkraut*, drained

2 tbsp. Thousand Island** dressing

1 tbsp. margarine

 

Heat griddle or large cast iron fry pan to medium heat.  Spread each slice of bread generously with Thousand Island dressing.  Top with one slice of cheese, divide sauerkraut between the two slices, top with a slice of deli meat and end with another slice of cheese.  Cover with remaining bread slices.  Spread margarine on both sides of each sandwich.  Place on griddle; grill each side (3-4 minutes each side) until golden brown and cheese is melted.

 

Remove from grill and let stand 2-3 minutes before cutting and half and serving.

 

  • To thoroughly drain sauerkraut, place in strainer to drain liquid.  Place drained sauerkraut in 2-3 layers of paper towels and squeeze gently until no more liquid is visible.
  • Homemade Thousand Island dressing: ½ cup mayonnaise, 2 tbsp. sweet relish, 2 tbsp. French dressing or ketchup, 1 tbsp. finely chopped onion.  Combine all ingredients together and stir well.  Store remaining dressing in fridge for one month.
