Ingredients
- 5 cups rotisserie chicken
- 8 ounces deli ham, chopped into small pieces
- 1 cup swiss cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 ½ cups Panko bread crumbs
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon salt
Lemon Cream Sauce
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 ⅓ cup milk
- ⅔ cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- ½ cup Parmesan cheese, shredded
- ½ cup swiss cheese, shredded
- ⅓ cup fresh lemon juice
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and spray a 3-quart baking dish with pan spray.
- Spread the shredded 5 cups rotisserie chicken in the bottom of the pan. Sprinkle the chopped 8 ounces deli ham, evenly over the chicken.
- In a small bowl, stir together 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, 1 ½ cups panko bread crumbs, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, and ½ teaspoon salt. Set aside.
- Prepare the lemon cream sauce by melting 6 tablespoons unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Once melted, add 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour and whisk to combine. Continue to whisk until the mixture becomes nutty and fragrant and the bubbling subsides. About 2 minutes.
- Slowly whisk in 1 cup chicken broth, ⅔ cup heavy cream, 1 ⅓ cup milk, and 1 tablespoon dijon mustard. Whisk until smooth and thickened, about 3-4 minutes. Whisk in the ½ cup parmesan cheese, ½ cup swiss cheese, slowly, whisking until it is fully melted. Whisk in ⅓ cup fresh lemon juice and salt and pepper, to taste.
- Pour the sauce evenly over the chicken and ham and top with the shredded 1 cup swiss cheese,. Top with the panko mixture and bake for 30-35 minutes, until the casserole is bubbling and the bread crumbs are golden brown. Top with chopped parsley and hollandaise, if desired.
