Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole

2 pounds skinless chicken breasts, cut into chunks

½ cup bread crumbs

1 egg

1/2 cup milk

8 oz Swiss cheese, shredded (or sliced)

8 oz ham, diced

1 can (10 3/4 oz) cream of chicken soup

1 cup milk

Place the chicken chunks in a 9 x 13 baking dish. Whisk the egg and milk and pour over the chicken. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs over the chicken. Broil until breadcrumbs are golden (about 5 minutes). Remove from oven and sprinkle cheese and then the ham over the chicken. Mix the chicken soup with 1 cup of milk and pour over the chicken, cheese, ham. Bake for about 30 minutes at 350º, or until it is bubbly and done.
