Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 8 slices deli ham
- 8 slices Swiss cheese
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish and set it aside.
Cook the chicken breasts thoroughly by boiling, baking, or pan-searing until fully cooked. Once cool enough to handle, dice the chicken into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, Dijon mustard, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Add the diced chicken to the mixture and stir to coat evenly.
Layer the bottom of the prepared casserole dish with half of the chicken mixture. Then layer 4 slices of ham and 4 slices of Swiss cheese on top. Add the remaining chicken mixture, followed by the remaining ham and Swiss cheese slices.
In a small skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the Panko breadcrumbs and stir to coat in the butter. Toast the breadcrumbs for 2-3 minutes until golden brown, then remove from heat and stir in the Parmesan cheese.
Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the casserole.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the topping is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow the casserole to rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve warm.
