A delightful and creamy chicken and ham casserole topped with a crispy breadcrumb crust, perfect for a comforting dinner.
Preheat your oven to 350°F.
Always preheat your oven to ensure even cooking.
Place the chicken breasts in a greased 3-quart casserole dish.
Arrange the chicken evenly to ensure uniform cooking.
Layer the ham slices over the chicken.
Overlap the ham slightly for better coverage.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and shredded cheddar cheese.
Mix until the sauce is smooth and well combined.
Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken and ham in the casserole dish.
Spread the sauce evenly to cover all the ingredients.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 35 minutes.
Check the chicken's doneness with a meat thermometer; it should reach 165°F.
In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with the melted butter.
Use panko breadcrumbs for extra crunch.
Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the casserole and bake for an additional 5 minutes.
Bake until the topping is golden and crispy.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.
Resting allows the flavors to meld and makes serving easier.
Serve the casserole over cooked rice and enjoy.
Garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh touch.
