Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole

• 2-3 pounds boned, skinned chicken breasts, cut into 2 inch or so chunks
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1/4 cup milk
• dry bread crumbs (I used the Italian seasoned crumbs)
• oil for frying
• 5-6 slices ham lunchmeat, chopped
• 1 cup shredded cheese, whatever type you like
• 1 can cream of mushroom or cream of chicken soup, mixed with 1 cup milk

Mix the egg with the milk; dip the chicken in the milk, then coat with the breadcrumbs. Heat oil in a large frying pan, and fry the chicken just until browned. (I did this in three batches, so they would all brown evenly.)

Put the browned chicken in a 9x13 inch baking pan. Sprinkle the ham over this, then add about 1/2 cup of the cheese on top. Pour the soup/milk over all this. Top with remaining cheese. Bake at 350 for about 30 minutes or until browned and bubbly
