1/4 lb thinly sliced baby swiss cheese

Sauce:

Preheat oven to 350. Butter a 9x13 dish, set aside
Put cooked, shredded chicken on bottom of baking dish, cover with rough chopped ham, cover with sliced swiss cheese.
For sauce: Melt butter over medium heat, mix with flour to form a roux. Slowly add milk while stirring until sauce thickens. Stir in lemon juice, mustard, salt, paprika, and pepper. Bring to soft boil and turn off heat. Pour sauce evenly over the casserole, making sure to get edges.
