Steps to make to make Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole

1. If you have leftover chicken skip this step. Heavily season your chicken breasts. Quickly sear both sides of the breasts in a cast iron skillet and then place skillet in a 350°F oven. Cook until almost done or to 140°F. Remove to plate and let rest 5-10 minutes.
2. Put ham steak in the skillet and brown both sides on high heat. 1-2 minutes per side. Remove and plate with chicken. Cut chicken and ham into cube size pieces. Return to plate. Combine cheeses in a bowl and mix. Set aside. You will use 1 cup in the sauce and the remaining 1 1/2 cups will be used in the casserole dish.
3. Mix 2 Tbsp melted butter and the Panko breadcrumbs in a bowl. Mix well and set aside. Add 4 Tbsp butter and shallots to the skillet and cook until soft. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Whisk in flour and cook for 2 minutes. Add white wine and cook off liquid, 1-2 minutes. Next whisk in chicken broth, milk, heavy cream, mustard, cayenne pepper, and black pepper and bring to a simmer. Cook about 5-10 minutes until it thickens some. Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup of the cheese mixture.
4. Spray Pam on a small baking dish. I used a 8” x 11” dish. Layer bottom of dish with 1/3 of chicken, then 1/2 the ham, then 1/4 cup of cheese mixture. Repeat process for the second layer. Layer the remaining chicken on top. Pour in sauce to cover dish contents. Spread remaining cheese mixture, about a cup, on top of sauce.
5. Finally, add breadcrumbs and spread to cover the top of the casserole.
6. Place casserole on a preheated 350°F oven. Cook for 30 minutes, until casserole is bubbling and the breadcrumbs are browned. If you want you can use your broiler at the end to get a nice browned, crispy top. Serve and enjoy. Rice makes a good side for this casserole with all the great sauce.
