Chicken Cordon Bake

I took this cordon bake to our son's house for supper and it was enjoyed by everyone. A very simple version of Chicken Cordon Bleu.

• 4 cups chicken, cooked and cut in chunks
• 2 cups ham, cooked and cut in chunks
• 1 cup shredded swiss cheese
• 1 cup onion, chopped..I omitted this and it tasted just fine:)
• 1/4 cup butter
• 1/3 cup flour
• 2 1/4 cups milk
• 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
• 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• Crunchy topping

1. Layer chicken, cheese and ham in a greased 9" by 13 " pan.
2. Saute onions (if using) in butter.
3. Stir in flour and blend in milk, add dry mustard and seasonings.
4. Cook and stir until thickened.
5. Pour over ham and sprinkle with topping.

Crunchy topping:

• 2 1/2 cups coarse bread crumbs
• 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1/4 cup melted butter

1. Mix together until combined before sprinkling over the ham.
2. Bake at 350º for 30 minutes.

I served it with brown rice and a salad.
