Sauerkraut is in my heritage. My grandmother on my mother's side was German but born here in the USA; she made home-grown sauerkraut with cabbages from her garden. My other grandmother is Polish. Her mother (we called her Babka) used to point at us with her crooked finger and say "let me tell you a-something." She was pretty scary. She lived to be 94 years old. The remedy she used for pinworm and roundworm overgrowth in the body was sauerkraut juice, and that was like 100 years ago! Only now is science discovering the healing properties in what was once considered pointless, pungent, peasant food. My recipe is garlicky and delicious.

We took a looooooong hiatus from chicken due to its seasonality, so I snapped those babies right up and took them home for a delectable dinner. This recipe is simple because well-raised chicken speaks for itself.
