Notes

For this I am going with High cost per serving based on the ham, which is available but at a premium price. Even though the ham is high priced, this sounds like an excellent casserole. Spend a bit more time preparing this and you can cook the chicken and broth at the same time using a shortcut.
Shortcuts: Chicken Broth (Pressure Cooker), Poultry Seasoning, Yam Biscuits.
