Ingredients

12 oz egg noodles (or wide pasta)

2 cups cooked chicken breast, diced

1½ cups cooked ham, diced

2 cups shredded Swiss cheese

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Sauce:

2 tbsp butter

2 tbsp all-purpose flour

1½ cups milk

½ cup heavy cream

1 tsp Dijon mustard

½ tsp garlic powder

Salt & black pepper, to taste

Topping (optional but recommended):

½ cup breadcrumbs

2 tbsp melted butter

¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

Cook the pasta

Boil noodles in salted water until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Make the sauce

Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat.

Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute.

Slowly add milk and cream, whisking until smooth and thickened.

Stir in Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

Assemble the casserole

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

In a large bowl, combine pasta, chicken, ham, Swiss cheese, mozzarella, and sauce.

Transfer to a greased casserole dish.

Add topping

Mix breadcrumbs with melted butter and Parmesan. Sprinkle evenly on top.

Bake

Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, until bubbly and golden brown.

Garnish & serve

Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve hot.

Tips

You can use rotisserie chicken for extra flavor.

Gruyère cheese works great instead of Swiss.

Let it rest 5 minutes before serving for cleaner slices.
