3. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine cooked chicken, ham, rotini pasta, and shredded Swiss cheese.
4. Prepare Sauce: In a separate bowl, mix together sour cream, cream of chicken soup, milk, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well blended.
5. Combine: Pour the sauce over the chicken mixture and stir until everything is evenly coated.
6. Transfer to Baking Dish: Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish and pour the combined mixture into it.
