Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 3 cups cooked chicken, shredded or cubed
  • 1 ½ cups cooked ham, diced
  • 2 cups shredded Swiss cheese, divided

Sauce Ingredients

  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Topping (Optional)

  • ½ cup bread crumbs, plain or seasoned
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
  2. Combine main ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, mix the shredded chicken, diced ham, and 1 ½ cups of Swiss cheese until well combined.
  3. Prepare the sauce: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the sour cream, milk, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  4. Mix sauce with chicken mixture: Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken and ham mixture, stirring gently to ensure everything is evenly coated.
  5. Assemble casserole: Transfer the combined mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
  6. Add cheese topping: Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of Swiss cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.
  7. Prepare bread crumb topping: In a small bowl, mix bread crumbs with melted butter (if using) and sprinkle this mixture evenly over the cheese layer.
  8. Bake: Place the casserole in the oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the casserole is heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  9. Cool and serve: Let the casserole rest for a few minutes before serving to allow it to set slightly.

Notes

  • Use good quality ham and Swiss cheese for the best flavor.
  • Do not overbake the casserole; tent with foil if the bread crumb topping browns too quickly.
  • Let the casserole cool slightly before serving for easier slicing.
  • For a richer flavor, substitute Gruyere cheese for Swiss cheese.
  • Add vegetables like sautéed mushrooms, broccoli florets, or asparagus tips for added nutrition and texture.
  • Gruyere, provolone, or mozzarella can be used as alternative cheese options.
  • You can assemble the casserole up to 24 hours in advance and store it in the refrigerator before baking.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.
