Ingredients
Sauce
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup milk
- 1 cup reduced sodium chicken broth
- 2 teaspoons cooking sherry
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon dried thyme leaves
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
- 1 cup shredded Monterey jack cheese or shredded white sharp cheddar cheese
Casserole ingredients
- 8 ounces cooked chopped chicken about 2 cups
- 4 ounces ham diced, about 1 cup
- 12 ounces penne or other medium size, cooked al dente
Topping ingredients
- ½ cup Panko bread crumbs
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Whisk in chicken broth and milk a little bit at a time until smooth. Continue stirring until the sauce thickens, about 7 minutes. Let boil 1 minute.
- Add in sherry, Dijon, Worcestershire, garlic powder, thyme, and pepper. Remove from heat and stir in Swiss & Monterey Jack cheeses.
- Meanwhile, cook pasta al dente according to package directions. Do not overcook. Combine pasta, chicken, ham, and sauce. Pour into a 9 x 13 baking dish.
- Combine melted butter, Panko bread crumbs, parmesan cheese & parsley. Sprinkle over top of casserole.
- Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes or until hot and the top is lightly browned. Remove from the oven and rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Be sure not to overcook pasta before adding it to the casserole. Drain it when it's just al dente, and it will finish cooking as it bakes.
- For the chicken, use rotisserie or cooked chicken breasts.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated up to 3 days, and will keep in the freezer up to 3 months.
- If making ahead for freezer or refrigerator, leave off the topping and add before cooking.
- To reheat, cover with foil and bake for 20-25 minutes in a preheated oven set at 325°F.
