Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  • In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour to form a roux, then gradually whisk in chicken broth and heavy cream until smooth and thickened.

Notes

Helpful Tips:
Don't have cooked chicken on hand? No problem! You can use leftover rotisserie chicken or even cooked turkey instead.
Feel free to customize your casserole with your favorite cheeses. Gruyere or cheddar would make tasty alternatives to Swiss cheese.
Want to add some extra flavor? Try sprinkling chopped fresh herbs like parsley or thyme over the top of the casserole before baking.
