Ingredients
- Cooked chicken, shredded: 3 cups
- Cooked ham, diced: 2 cups
- Swiss cheese, shredded: 2 cups
- Cream of chicken soup: 1 (10.75 ounce) can
- Milk: 1/2 cup
- Mayonnaise: 1/4 cup
- Dry bread crumbs: 1 cup
- Butter, melted: 4 tablespoons
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Step 2: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, diced ham, shredded Swiss cheese, cream of chicken soup, milk, and mayonnaise. Mix well until everything is evenly distributed.
- Step 3: Pour the chicken mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out in an even layer.
- Step 4: In a separate small bowl, combine the dry bread crumbs and melted butter. Stir until the bread crumbs are evenly coated.
- Step 5: Sprinkle the bread crumb mixture evenly over the top of the chicken mixture in the baking dish.
- Step 6: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is heated through and the topping is golden brown and bubbly. Let stand for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days for best flavor.
- For perfectly reheated leftovers, add a splash of milk before microwaving to keep the casserole moist.
- Serve with a side of steamed green beans or a crisp salad for a complete and balanced meal.
- To prevent a soggy topping, toast the breadcrumbs lightly in a dry skillet before mixing with the butter.
