Chicken Ham Cheese Bake
A hearty layered casserole combining cooked chicken and deli ham with a creamy, cheesy sauce spiked by Dijon mustard and lemon juice. It gets a crunchy butter-herb topping for texture contrast. Melt butter, sauté garlic, form a roux by whisking in flour, then add milk and seasonings for a velvety sauce base. Cheese folds in off heat to avoid curdling. Chicken and ham spread evenly, smothered in sauce. Optional crispy topping of butter, Italian herbs, garlic powder. Baked uncovered until bubbling and golden, then rested before serving. Practical substitutes suggested for cheese and mustard. Timing cues pegged to aroma, sauce thickness, and breadcrumbs golden hue.

Short prep, simple assembly, relying on visual cues like bubbling and melted cheese to know when it’s done.
