Combine all ingredients for homemade Thousand Island Dressing in a bowl then cover and refrigerate. Can be made up to 5 days ahead of time.
Place a large skillet over heat that's just a touch above medium then spray with nonstick spray. Season chicken on both sides with homemade seasoned salt and pepper then add to the skillet and saute until golden brown on the bottom, 2-4 minutes depending on the thickness of your chicken cutlets/breasts. Turn heat down to medium then flip chicken and saute for 1 more minute (2-3 minutes if using breasts vs cutlets.)
Add toppings to each piece of chicken - roughly 2-3 Tablespoons sauerkraut, 2-3 Tablespoons dressing, plus a slice of swiss cheese - then place a lid on top and continue to saute until cheese has melted and chicken is cooked through.

To make chicken cutlets from chicken breasts: Use a sharp knife to slice large chicken breasts in half widthwise.
If using chicken breasts instead of cutlets for larger portions: Place chicken breasts on a cutting board then cover with saran wrap and pound to an even thickness using a meat mallet. The thinner you pound them the faster they will cook.
