1 lb. pasta, penne or any fun shaped pasta
1 cup chicken breasts, cooked and cubed
1 cup ham, cooked and cubed
1 1/2 cups milk
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
2 Tablespoons dried minced onion
2 cups Swiss cheese, shredded
Salt
Pepper
Cayenne pepper (optional-add to cheese mixture)
1 cup Panko crumbs
1/2 cup butter, melted
Directions:
Bring a large pot of water to a boil over medium-high heat. Salt it and add the pasta. Cook until al dente (about 11 minutes) Using whole wheat pasta 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 (about 4 minutes).
