Servings: 5 people
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 pound chicken breasts about 2 small breasts, cut into 1-inch chunks
- 1 cup of diced cooked ham like from a ham steak
- 2 1/2 cups uncooked Rotini pasta or other small, dry pasta
- 3 cups water
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder

- 10 ounces Swiss Cheese shredded, divided
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 3 tablespoons butter melted
- 2 teaspoons dried parsley

Instructions
- Heat olive oil over medium heat in a 12-inch skillet or a 5-quart pot. Add garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, then add the chicken. Saute for a couple of minutes just until browned, but not cooked through.
- Add diced ham, pasta, water, salt and pepper, and garlic, onion and mustard powder. Stir to combine and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
- Remove pan from heat (there will still be liquid in the pan) and add Swiss cheese, stirring until completely melted.
