Cut a pocket into each chicken breast using a sharp knife.

Stuff each chicken breast with sliced pastrami and Swiss cheese.

Add sauerkraut into each chicken breast with the pastrami and cheese.

Mix 1 cup of plain bread crumbs with 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and 2 teaspoons of caraway seeds.

Brush thousand island dressing onto the outside of each chicken breast, coating both sides.

Coat each chicken breast in the bread crumb mixture, ensuring both sides are well coated.

Melt 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large heavy skillet over medium high heat.

Sear the chicken in the skillet for 2 to 3 minutes per side until lightly browned.

Once browned, transfer the skillet directly into a 400 degree Fahrenheit oven to finish cooking for 20 to 25 minutes.

Ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit before serving.
