Here's our weeknight version of choucroute garni, “dressed sauerkraut,” made with chicken sausage. The flavor of the dish will vary depending on what type of chicken sausage you choose. We like the taste of roasted garlic sausage or sweet apple sausage in this recipe. And although any type of sauerkraut can be used, we prefer the crisp texture of refrigerated kraut over canned. Serve with roasted carrots and some mustard to spread on the sausage.

Really enjoyed the recipe. Par boiled the potatoes and Prepped the entire meal in about 15 minutes. I added one tablespoon of spicy Brown mustard. And substituted chicken stock for the white wine.

Great recipe! I made it with chicken apple sausage and it turned out great! I did cook the potatoes before hand like the previous reviews suggested and that made the timing work out perfectly.

Tasty, Filling, Easy I made this the other night. I had to use red potatoes and turkey sausage as that's all my grocer had. I also used cheap white cooking wine. Despite this, the dish turned out amazing! The sauerkraut and onions really set it off. All around a wonferful, flavor and easy to make dish. I ate it for leftovers three nights straight, and it seemed to get better each time. I will be making again!! Pros: Easy to cook, extremely tasty Cons: None

Love it! My fiance loved this dish. He requests it! I took the other's advice and precooked the potatoes and they turned out fine. I recommend using the Sweet Apple Sausage. I never had that before and I love it. Pros: Delicious and easy

Really Filling This turned out really delicious. It is a good use for sauerkraut. I, also, found that it took much longer to cook the potatoes, and I used Yukon Gold. Will definitely make this again.

Easy one-dish dinner Good, easy dinner. My husband doesn't usually like sauerkraut, but he liked this. I used the kielbasa I had in the freezer instead of chicken sausage, and russet potatoes instead of Yukon gold. The sausage substitute was fine, but the russet potatoes took forever to cook. I just kept adding wine, and it turned out great. The sauerkraut and sausage held up really well to the extra cooking time, and this was a tasty dish. I will make it again, but with the right potatoes next time! Pros: Easy, tasty
