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. Turn the heat to high & cook until the sauce thickens and stems completely, whisking frequently. Remove from the heat & then add the sauce ingredients. Pour the final sauce on the bottom layer in the dish.
In a small-bowl, mix together the topping ingredients till the butter is evenly dispersed over the grinds. Sprinkle on the surface of the dish and bake for 45 mins. Allow to cool for 10 mins prior to serving so that the sauce with thicken a little.
