- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic about 3 cloves
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
- 16 ounces shredded cooked chicken
- 16 ounces cubed ham
Topping:
- 1/2 cup Panko bread crumbs

Instructions
- Heat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook 1 pound penne pasta according to the package directions until al dente. Drain and transfer pasta to the prepared baking dish.
- Meanwhile, melt 1/4 cup salted butter in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and 1 tablespoon minced garlic, then cook for 1 minute, whisking constantly.
- While whisking, gradually pour in 2 cups chicken broth and 2 cups heavy cream. Then whisk in 2 tablespoons dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon brown sugarand 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 3 to 5 minutes, until the mixture has thickened.
- Gradually stir in 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese until it is fully melted into the sauce. Remove saucepan from heat.
- Sprinkle 16 ounces shredded cooked chicken and 16 ounces cubed ham evenly over the pasta in the baking dish. Pour the sauce over these ingredients, ensuring everything is well coated.
- In a small bowl, stir together 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs, 2 tablespoons salted butter, and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder. Sprinkle this mixture over the top of the casserole to cover.
- Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, until the topping is lightly browned. Serve hot.
