  4. Reduce the heat to low and add milk, broth, parsley. Use a wooden spoon and scrape the teeny-weeny bits of chicken that stick to the pan then stir very well. Cook until the sauce begins to simmer.

  5. Return the chicken, scoop some of the sauce over the chicken. Top the chicken with 2 slices of cheese and deli ham (I used turkey).
