This casserole is a bit time-consuming to make, but it's definitely worth it. The flavors are amazing!

I'm allergic to dairy, so I used a dairy-free bechamel sauce in this recipe. It turned out great!

This casserole is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids loved the creamy sauce and the chicken.

I'm not a fan of mushrooms, so I omitted them from this recipe. It was still delicious!

This casserole is a great make-ahead meal. You can assemble it the night before and then bake it the next day.

I made this casserole in a 9x13 inch pan and it was the perfect size for my family of four. If you have a larger family, you may want to use a larger pan.

This casserole is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I always have some leftover chicken from when I roast a whole chicken, and this is a great way to use it up.

I had some trouble finding ham that was thin enough for this recipe. I ended up using deli ham, which worked fine.

This casserole was a little bland for my taste. I think I'll add some extra spices next time.

This casserole was a hit with my family! The chicken was moist and tender, and the sauce was creamy and flavorful. I especially liked the addition of ham and Swiss cheese, which gave the dish a nice salty and cheesy flavor.
