Preparation
Step 1
In a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat, cook bacon until crisp. Transfer to a bowl with a slotted spoon. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Brown in two batches in bacon drippings, 8 minutes per batch. Transfer chicken to bowl as it browns.
Cook onion in drippings 4 to 5 minutes, until softened. Add bacon, sauerkraut, chicken broth, mustard, juniper berries, bay leaf, sugar substitute, and remaining salt and mix well. Arrange chicken on top. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook on low 35 minutes, until chicken is cooked through.
Transfer to a platter. Discard bay leaf. Increase heat to high and boil off most of the cooking liquid. Serve chicken with sauerkraut on the side.
