  2. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter. Add the garlic, stirring for 1 minutes until softened. Whisk in the flour until it forms a paste.

  4. Spread the cooked chicken and ham into the prepared baking dish. Cover with the cheese sauce, turning to coat evenly. Set aside if you are making the crunchy topping, otherwise, bake uncovered for 20 minutes.
