2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 onion, diced
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup Progresso™ chicken broth (from 32-oz carton)
1/2 cup milk
2 cups shredded deli rotisserie chicken
1 cup chopped ham
2 cups cooked rice
1 1/2 cups shredded Swiss cheese (6 oz)

Steps:

Heat oven to 400°F. Lightly grease 10-inch round baking dish with olive oil; set aside.
In 10-inch skillet, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat. Add onion; cook until tender and translucent, stirring occasionally. Add flour; stir to make a roux. Cook roux 1 to 2 minutes or until lightly golden. Gradually beat in broth with whisk, followed by milk, and simmer until slightly thickened into a gravy.
In large bowl, mix chicken, gravy, ham, rice and 1 cup of the cheese. Spread evenly in baking dish.
In another bowl, mix bread crumbs and butter to coat well. Add remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Top casserole with bread crumb mixture; bake about 20 minutes or until top is crisp and golden and casserole is bubbling.
