  • 1 large rotisserie-chicken, meat removed and pulled (about 5-6 c.)
  • ½ lb sliced deli-style black-forest ham, chopped
  • ½ lb sliced swiss-cheese

Sauce

  • 3 c milk
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 4 tbsp flour

  • 2 tbsp lemon-juice
  • ½ tsp smoked-paprika
  • tsp salt
  • ½ tsp pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F & spray a 9×13 casserole dish with non-stick spray. Layer the chicken at the bottom of the dish followed with the ham & eventually the swiss-cheese.
  • In a medium saucepan, melt butter over moderate heat. Whisk in the flour and cook a minute. Gradually add the milk, whisking to maintain clumps from forming.
