Chicken Cordon Blue Casserole

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked & shredded (1 lb.)

4 ounces thinly sliced, low-sodium deli ham, cut into pieces

3 ounces fat-free cream cheese, softened

2 tablespoons butter, melted

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1/4 cup nonfat milk

1/4 teaspoon pepper

1/2 cup shredded Swiss cheese

1 cup broccoli florets, chopped

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat an 8-inch baking dish with cooking spray.  Place the chicken in bottom of baking dish. Loosely pile the ham over the chicken.  In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, margarine, mustard, milk, wine, and pepper; mix well. Stir in 1/4 cup Swiss cheese and broccoli. Spread this sauce over the ham, then sprinkle with remaining Swiss cheese.  Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until heated through and lightly golden.  Serves 6

Comments:  This dish turned out delicious.  It has the high protein and low carbs I limited to and the calorie count wasn't bad either.  Also, the cost was low.  The chicken was part what I had found on sale at Food Lion.  (3 lbs. for $6.00 - 5 pieces)  That made the cost of the chicken about $2.40.  The ham I bought in the deli and ended up paying $2.10.  The cream cheese was $1.50.  The butter, mustard, milk and pepper I won;t even bother to count.  The cheese was $2.00 for a 2 cup package giving me a cost of about $.50.  And the broccoli I bought frozen on sale for $1.25 for a 1 lb. pkg.  I used half of it for a cost of around $.65.  Total cost ran around $7.15, serving 6 for a total of around $1.20 per serving.  And the meal is well worth it.
