Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish or baking dish and set it aside.
Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips or bite-sized pieces for faster cooking and even distribution in the casserole.
In a large skillet over medium heat, lightly cook the sliced chicken pieces, seasoning them with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Cook until just no longer pink, about 4-5 minutes. Set aside.
In a small saucepan, melt the cream cheese over low heat until smooth and creamy. Stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and half the shredded mozzarella cheese. Continue stirring until the mixture thickens slightly, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.
Layer the cooked chicken evenly into the prepared casserole dish.
Next, add a layer of ham slices over the chicken, followed by a layer of Swiss cheese slices.
Pour the prepared cream sauce evenly over the layers, spreading it out to cover the entire dish.
Sprinkle the top with the remaining shredded mozzarella cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
