# Step-by-Step:

01 - Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.

03 - In a medium bowl, whisk together cream cheese, heavy cream, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt until smooth.
04 - Pour the sauce evenly over the chicken and ham. Sprinkle with the remaining Swiss cheese and Parmesan cheese.
05 - In a small bowl, mix almond flour and melted butter. Sprinkle over the top of the casserole.
06 - Bake uncovered for 25 to 30 minutes, or until bubbly and golden brown.
07 - Garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Serve hot.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It tastes indulgent and special without the carb guilt that usually comes with that kind of comfort food.
  • Everything happens in one dish, which means minimal cleanup and maximum flavor absorption.
  • Rotisserie chicken makes this weeknight-friendly, though homemade works beautifully too.
02 -
  • If your cream cheese isn't soft, it will clump in the sauce and you'll spend minutes whisking in frustration; take it out of the fridge while you prep everything else.
  • The mustard isn't optional even if you think you don't like mustard—it's what gives this dish its sophisticated edge and keeps it from tasting one-dimensional.
  • If your casserole looks done on top but seems liquidy in the middle, give it another five minutes in the oven; undercooked cream sauce feels disappointing on the plate.
03 -
  • Buy pre-shredded cheese if it's easier for you; nobody wins points for shredding cheese by hand, and prepared cheese works just as well in casseroles.
  • If you want a crispier topping, sprinkle the almond flour mixture on just before the final five minutes of baking so it doesn't dry out.
