Directions

-
Drizzle another 1/3 cup of Russian dressing over the top layer of chicken and sauerkraut.
-
Cover the slow cooker and set it to the low heat setting.
-
Cook for 3.5 to 4 hours, or until the chicken is white throughout and tender enough to shred or slice easily.

To serve, spoon portions of the casserole onto 4 or 5 plates.
-
Sprinkle each serving with 3 to 4 tablespoons of shredded Swiss cheese.
-
Drizzle about 1 tablespoon of the reserved Russian dressing over each plate.
