Make the Casserole Sauce

In a small pot, melt butter over medium heat. Sprinkle in flour and whisk to create a paste. Slowly whisk in chicken broth to avoid lumps. Bring to boil to thicken, then reduce to simmer. Stir in milk and seasonings. Taste and adjust seasonings. Remove from heat and pour over chicken, ham and cheese.

Make the Buttered Bread Crumbs

In a small nonstick skillet, melt butter. Sprinkle in breadcrumbs and seasoning salt. Stir to coat in butter and toast lightly. Remove from heat and sprinkle over the top of the casserole.
