Ingredients:
  1 lb. Pasta (I used penne)
1 1/2 cup Chicken Breasts, cooked and cubed (I used Tyson Grilled and Ready Cubed chicken)
1 1/4 cup Ham, cooked and cubed ( I used Perdue Farms diced fully cooked chicken)
1/4 tsp Garlic
Just a dash of Roasted Red Pepper Flakes
1 1/2 cups Milk
8 oz. Cream Cheese (softened)
2 TBSP Minced Onion
2 1/2 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
Salt
Pepper
1 cup Italian Style Panko Crumbs
1/2 cup butter, melted
Directions:

Cook Chicken until heated thoroughly.  Toss with garlic and a dash of Red Pepper Flakes.

Heat ham in separate skillet. Bring a large pot of water to a boil over med-high heat.

Salt it and add the pasta; cook until tender.

Drain and return to the pot. Add in the chicken and ham and toss to combine.

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  (about 4 minutes)


ENJOY!!
