- For the sauce, over medium heat, melt the butter in a large sauce pan. Whisk in the flour until smooth. Continue to whisk mixture while slowly adding milk, whisk until sauce thickens, about 10 minutes. Add lemon juice, brown mustard, paprika, and black pepper. Bring sauce to a low simmer again, whisk continuously. Once it has reached desired thickness, remove from heat and pour sauce evenly over the casserole.
- For the topping: In a small sauce pan, melt the butter and stir in panko breadcrumbs, garlic, parsley, and black pepper. Sprinkle topping mixture over the top of the casserole.

Chicken will cost about 32 Baht/500 grams. Swiss cheese will cost 180 Baht/block of 250 grams, slice it thin. The ham will cost about 75 Baht. This comes out to about $1.05 per serving for 8 servings. This is a far price for a great meal.
