Base:

  • 1/2 pound sliced deli-style black forest ham, chopped
  • 1/2 pound sliced swiss cheese

Sauce:

  • 4 Tb butter
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 4 Tb flour
  • 3 C milk
  • 2 Tb lemon juice
  • 1 Tb dijion mustard
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp pepper

  2. Layer the chicken in the bottom of the dish followed by the ham and finally the swiss cheese.
  3. Melt the butter over medium heat, in a medium saucepan, and add garlic as it melts. Keep stirring with a rubber spatula to avoid burning.
