Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a small casserole dish.
Dice the cooked chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and layer it evenly in the bottom of the prepared casserole dish.
Layer the slices of ham evenly over the diced chicken.
Layer the slices of Swiss cheese on top of the ham, ensuring an even distribution.
In a small bowl, whisk together the cream cheese, heavy cream, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy. Pour this mixture over the Swiss cheese layer in the casserole dish.
In a separate small bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs, butter, and Parmesan cheese until the breadcrumbs are evenly coated with butter.
Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the casserole.
Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the casserole is heated through and the breadcrumb topping is golden brown.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it sit for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
