Chicken Deli Casserole

Submitted by OceanLuvinGranny

"I found this online when I was looking for some kind of different recipe using sauerkraut. Since it is a slow cooker recipe, I can put it on in the morning and it will be ready in the early afternoon. I can leave it and not fuss over cooking when I would rather be out shopping...lol. Hope you like it as much as we do."
