A delightful one-pan dish combining the savory flavors of kielbasa with the sweetness of apples and the tang of sauerkraut.
Slice the kielbasa into rounds and dice the onion.
Ensure the slices are even for uniform cooking.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the kielbasa slices. Cook until browned, then remove and set aside.
Browning the kielbasa adds a rich, caramelized flavor.
In the same skillet, sauté the diced onion until translucent.
Stir frequently to prevent burning.
Add the sliced apples to the skillet and cook for 2 minutes.
Choose firm apples to maintain texture during cooking.
Return the kielbasa to the skillet and add the sauerkraut, chicken broth, and caraway seeds. Stir to combine.
Mix well to evenly distribute the flavors.
Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
Simmering allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
Pair with a side of crusty bread for a complete meal.
