Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 2 cups cubed Chicken
  • 8 slices Swiss cheese or 2 cups shredded Swiss cheese
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup milk
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Cream Sauce
  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • In a medium saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and whisk constantly for 1-2 minutes to create a roux.

  • Sprinkle the cubed Chicken over the chicken, followed by an even layer of Swiss cheese.
  • Pour the cream sauce over the cheese layer, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
  • Add the Topping
  • In a small mixing bowl, combine Panko breadcrumbs and melted butter. Stir to coat. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs evenly over the casserole.
  • Bake the Casserole
