Ingredients:

 

For the Casserole:

  • 3 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie or boiled)
  • 8 slices ham, chopped
  • 1 cup Swiss cheese, shredded
  • 1 cup cream of chicken soup
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

For the Topping:

  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

 

Instructions:

 

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure even baking.

Step 2: Mix the Chicken, Ham, and Cheese

In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, chopped ham, and Swiss cheese. Mix well so the ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 3: Prepare the Creamy Sauce

In a separate bowl, whisk together cream of chicken soup, milk, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Stir until smooth and well combined.

Step 4: Assemble the Casserole

Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken, ham, and cheese mixture, stirring until everything is evenly coated.

Step 5: Transfer to a Baking Dish

Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray. Spread the mixture evenly into the dish, forming a smooth layer.

Step 6: Make the Crunchy Topping

In a small bowl, mix breadcrumbs with melted butter until fully coated. This helps achieve a crispy, golden topping.

 

Step 7: Add the Topping and Bake

 

Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the casserole. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling.

 

Step 8: Garnish and Serve

 

Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
