- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- Salt to taste

Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish to prevent sticking and ensure easy serving later.

- Assemble and Bake: Pour the prepared chicken mixture into the greased baking dish, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs evenly over the top to create a crunchy topping.
- Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until the breadcrumbs are golden brown and the casserole is bubbly around the edges.
- Serve: Remove from oven and let it cool slightly. Serve warm to enjoy the creamy, cheesy, and comforting flavors of this classic dish.
Notes
- You can substitute turkey slices with cooked ham for a different twist.
- For extra crunch, use panko breadcrumbs instead of regular breadcrumbs.
- Make sure the chicken is well drained to avoid excess moisture in the casserole.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven.
- Adding a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or thyme on top before serving can enhance flavor and presentation.
