Ingredients

  • 1 pound pasta (I used penne-you could use any fun shaped pasta)
  • 1 cup chicken breasts, cooked and cubed
  • 1 cup ham, cooked and cubed
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons dried minced onion
  • 2 cups Swiss cheese, shredded
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Cayenne Pepper
  • 1 cup panko crumbs
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted

Preparation

Step 1

Bring a large pot of water to a boil over med-high heat. Salt it and add the pasta; cook until al dente (about 11 minutes-I used whole wheat pasta which takes a bit longer than regular pasta). Drain and return to the pot. Add in the chicken and ham and toss to combine.

Preheat the broiler. In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, cream cheese and minced onion over low-medium heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until it becomes a smooth texture (about 5 minutes). Stir into the pasta mixture. Stir in the Swiss cheese and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Transfer pasta to a baking dish and top with Panko crumbs. Pour melted butter over crumbs and broil until browned (I gave it 4 minutes).
