2. Put ham steak in the skillet and brown both sides on high heat. 1-2 minutes per side. Remove and plate with chicken. Cut chicken and ham into cube size pieces. Return to plate. Combine cheeses in a bowl and mix. Set aside. You will use 1 cup in the sauce and the remaining 1 1/2 cups will be used in the casserole dish.
3. Mix 2 Tbsp melted butter and the Panko breadcrumbs in a bowl. Mix well and set aside. Add 4 Tbsp butter and shallots to the skillet and cook until soft. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds.

Layer the remaining chicken on top. Pour in sauce to cover dish contents. Spread remaining cheese mixture, about a cup, on top of sauce.
5. Finally, add breadcrumbs and spread to cover the top of the casserole.
6. Place casserole on a preheated 350°F oven. Cook for 30 minutes, until casserole is bubbling and the breadcrumbs are browned. If you want you can use your broiler at the end to get a nice browned, crispy top. Serve and enjoy. Rice makes a good side for this casserole with all the great sauce.
