Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 6 slices thin slices of deli ham
- 6 slices Swiss cheese
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups whole milk
- 0.5 cups chicken broth
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons onion powder
- 1 teaspoons dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish and set aside.
Pat the chicken breasts dry and slice them into bite-sized pieces. Season with salt and pepper.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and cook the chicken pieces until golden and cooked through, about 6–8 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer the chicken to the prepared casserole dish, spreading it evenly.
Layer the deli ham evenly over the cooked chicken in the casserole dish.
Place the slices of Swiss cheese on top of the ham, making sure the entire surface is covered.
In a medium saucepan, melt 3 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1–2 minutes to make a roux.
Gradually whisk in the milk and chicken broth. Continue whisking until the mixture thickens, about 3–4 minutes.
Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, Dijon mustard, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Season with additional salt and black pepper to taste. Remove the sauce from the heat and pour it evenly over the casserole layers.
In a small bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Stir until well combined.
Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the prepared casserole to create an even topping.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
