Cordon Bleu Casserole

4 cups cooked, chopped chicken
1 (16oz) pkg frozen broccoli florets, thawed and drained
2 tbsp butter
1/2 cup minced onion
8 oz diced ham
1 can Cream of Chicken soup
1/2 cup white wine
1/2 cup water
3/4 cup half & half
1 tsp poultry seasoning
8 oz shredded Swiss cheese
1 sleeve Ritz crackers, crushed

Place the chopped cooked chicken and the broccoli in a 9x13 pan (or large casserole dish). Melt the butter in a skillet and saute the onions until translucent. Add the diced ham and cook about 5 minutes. Stir in the chicken soup, wine, water, half & half, and poultry seasoning and cook gently for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in half the swiss cheese until melted. Pour sauce over the chicken and broccoli. Bake in a pre-heated 375^ oven for 30 minutes. Sprinkle the remaining Swiss cheese over the casserole and top with the cracker crumbs. Return to oven for about 15 more minutes or until the cheese is melted and the crumbs are browned. Cool about 15 minutes before serving. Serve with a salad.
