Cup of Yum
Dijon Cream Sauce Directions (Optional)
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.
- Add half of the milk and whisk until well blended.
- Add the remaining milk, Dijon mustard, and Parmesan cheese.
- Cook for about 3 minutes, whisking constantly, until the mixture starts to thicken.
- Remove the sauce from the heat.

- For maximum flavor, consider splitting raw chicken breasts horizontally and stuffing additional ham and cheese inside before assembling the casserole. This creates pockets of melty goodness throughout the dish while maintaining the ease of preparation.
