Instructions
Let’s get cooking! Follow these steps to create a dish that’s sure to become a family favorite.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish lightly with cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, milk, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Stir until smooth and well-blended.
- Add the cooked chicken cubes and diced ham to the bowl, mixing them gently to ensure they’re well-coated with the creamy mixture.
- Spread half of this chicken and ham mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle half of the Swiss and mozzarella cheese over the top.
- Repeat the layering process with the remaining chicken mixture and cheeses.
- In a small bowl, mix together the panko breadcrumbs and melted butter until the crumbs are evenly coated. Sprinkle this mixture over the top of the casserole for a crunchy finish.
- Place the dish in the oven and bake for about 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling around the edges.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before garnishing with fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
