Sweet golden delicious apples mellow the tang of sauerkraut in this comforting Instant Pot® chicken dinner that can be cooked and on the table in just over 30 minutes. Fresh dill added at the end lends wonderful bright flavor to the rustic dish, and grainy mustard makes a great accompaniment, adding a little punch of vinegary heat to the chicken. We called for 6 oz chicken thighs, but you could also use 8 oz thighs for one more Points™ value per serving. Shopping tip: For fresher flavor and the most probiotic benefits, look for sauerkraut that contains only cabbage, water, and salt and is sold refrigerated. The addition of preservatives can give it a harsh taste, and pasteurization can kill gut-friendly probiotics.
