03

Step

Add onion and garlic; cook until softened. Add ham and cook for 2 more minutes. (7 minutes)

In a separate bowl, mix condensed soups, sour cream, 1/2 cup Swiss cheese, and chicken broth. Add to the chicken mixture and stir until well combined. (5 minutes)

Step

Transfer to a large casserole dish and top with remaining Swiss cheese. (2 minutes)

06

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until casserole is cooked through and cheese is melted. (20-25 minutes)

For a richer flavor, use Gruyere cheese instead of Swiss.
Add a splash of dry sherry to the soup mixture for added depth of flavor.
Serve over steamed asparagus or rice for a complete meal.
To reduce sodium, use low-sodium condensed soups and chicken broth.
