Layer ham and swiss cheese in a casserole dish and get a meal so delicious your husband will be begging for more! It tastes like a warm sandwich in a bowl.

In a separate small bowl, stir together the panko breadcrumbs, melted butter, and grated Parmesan cheese until the crumbs are evenly coated and look like wet sand.

Sprinkle the buttery breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of the casserole to form a crunchy topping.

Cover the baking dish loosely with foil and bake for 20 minutes. This helps everything heat through without over-browning the top.

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15–20 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbling around the edges and the topping is golden brown.

Let the casserole rest for about 5–10 minutes before serving. This helps it set up a bit and makes it easier to scoop. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if you like, then serve warm.

To make this recipe work for your week, there are a few easy tweaks you can try. For a lighter version, swap the sour cream for plain Greek yogurt and use reduced-fat Swiss cheese; you can also use low-fat condensed soup and skim or 1% milk. If you prefer a from-scratch sauce, skip the condensed soup and whisk 3 tablespoons butter and 3 tablespoons flour together in a saucepan, then slowly add the milk and broth, cooking until thickened before seasoning and using as directed. For extra flavor, add a layer of thinly sliced cooked broccoli or steamed asparagus over the chicken before adding the ham and cheese. You can also mix in a teaspoon of smoked paprika or a little extra Dijon mustard to the sauce if you like a stronger flavor. If you’re cooking gluten-free, use gluten-free breadcrumbs and a gluten-free cream soup or homemade white sauce. For meal prep, assemble the casserole up to the breadcrumb step, cover tightly, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours—just add 5–10 minutes to the baking time if it’s going into the oven cold. Leftovers reheat well in the microwave, but if you want to keep the topping crisp, reheat individual portions in the oven or toaster oven at 350°F until warmed through.
