Chicken Cordon Bleu Pasta

Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the rotini according to the package directions until al dente. This recipe moves quickly, so have all of your ingredients prepped and ready before you begin.

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Whisk in 2 tablespoons of all‑purpose flour and cook for 2–3 minutes, until lightly golden and fragrant.

Whisk in 1 cup of white wine and cook for 2–3 minutes to reduce the alcohol and deepen the flavor.

Add 1 cup of half‑and‑half (or heavy cream) and ½ cup of chicken broth. Whisk steadily until the sauce thickens and becomes smooth.

Once the sauce thickens, stir in 1½ cups of shredded Swiss cheese until fully melted and smooth, and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Add 2 cups of cooked shredded chicken and 2 cups of cooked cubed ham, tossing them into the cheese sauce until evenly coated.

Add the cooked, drained pasta to the skillet and toss with the sauce, chicken, and ham until everything is evenly coated.

Garnish with parsley and serve.

Enjoy!
