- 4 oz butter, melted
- 6 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp white wine (optional)
- 1 oz lemon juice
- ½ tsp salt

Instructions
Step 1: Preheat and Layer
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Spread the shredded chicken evenly in the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Layer the bite-sized pieces of ham evenly over the chicken.
Step 2: Make the Dijon Cream Sauce
In a large bowl, combine:
-
4 oz melted butter
-
6 oz softened cream cheese
-
1 tbsp Dijon mustard

1 tbsp white wine (optional)

Use an electric hand mixer to blend the ingredients until the sauce is smooth, thick, and creamy.
Step 3: Assemble the Casserole
Spoon the prepared sauce over the chicken and ham mixture in the baking dish.
Spread it evenly with a spatula to ensure full coverage.
Lay the Swiss cheese slices on top of the sauce in a single layer.
Step 4: Bake and Broil
Bake the casserole uncovered for 30–40 minutes, or until the dish is hot and bubbly and the cheese is melted.
