Ingredients

  • 3 cups boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/2 pound deli-style ham diced
  • 8 ounces Swiss & Gruyere cheese blend shredded, and divided
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 1/2 cups whole milk
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup chicken stock
  • 12 ounce package wide egg noodles, cooked according to package instructions
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 3 tablespoons butter melted
  • chopped fresh parsley for garnish optional

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  • In a large bowl, combine the cubed chicken, diced ham, and 1 cup of the shredded Swiss & Gruyere cheese blend.
  • In a large saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.
  • Gradually whisk in the milk, Dijon mustard, thyme, salt, pepper, and chicken broth. Bring the sauce to a simmer, stirring frequently, until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Pour the sauce over the chicken, ham, and cheese mixture, stirring to coat evenly.
  • Add the cooked egg noodles to the chicken mixture, stirring to combine.
  • Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out in an even layer.
  • In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and 3 tablespoons of melted butter. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture and the remaining Swiss & Gruyere cheese blend evenly over the top of the casserole.
  • Bake the casserole for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbly.
  • Remove from the oven and let the casserole cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
  • Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
