13-by-9 baking dish
rimmed baking sheet
large saucepan
- 3 oz. prosciutto
- 6 Tbsp. unsalted butter
- 6 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
- 1.5 tsp. kosher salt
- 1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
- 2 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1" pieces
- 8 oz. cubed ham
- 4 cups shredded Swiss cheese about 1 lb., divided
- 1 cup panko bread crumbs
- Chopped fresh parsley for serving
Preheat oven to 350°. Coat a 13"-by-9" baking dish and a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray.
Arrange prosciutto on prepared baking sheet in an even layer with no overlap. Bake until crispy, 10 to 15 minutes. Let cool (they will continue to crisp while cooling).
Meanwhile, in a large saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Whisk in flour and let bubble until light golden brown and toasted, about 2 minutes. Pour in broth and milk and simmer, whisking occasionally, until thickened, 4 to 6 minutes. Whisk in mustard, salt, and pepper.
Stir chicken and ham into sauce. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until chicken is cooked through, 9 to 11 minutes. Stir in 2 cups cheese and immediately transfer mixture to prepared baking dish. Top with remaining 2 cups cheese.
Place cooled prosciutto in a small bowl. Using the handle of a wooden spoon, crush into fine crumbs. Add panko and toss to combine. Sprinkle prosciutto mixture evenly over baking dish.
Bake until filling is bubbling and crumbs are golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes. Top with parsley and serve.
