  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit
  • Use a sharp knife to slice a pocket in the side of each chicken breast. Fold 2 ounces of pastrami and 1 slice of cheese together and stuff into each chicken breast. Spoon in sauerkraut.
