A dish that combines tender chicken, savory ham, and melted cheese all in one pan, perfect for a low-carb lifestyle and busy weeknights.
Ingredients
Scale:
2 lbs Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup Cooked ham, diced
2 cups Shredded Swiss cheese
1 cup Heavy cream
2 tbsp Mustard (Dijon preferred)
1 tsp Garlic powder
½ tsp Salt
½ tsp Pepper
2 tbsp Olive oil
½ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures even cooking throughout the casserole.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken breasts and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes.
Once the chicken is cooked, reduce the heat to low and stir in the diced ham. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until heated through.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and mustard. Pour this mixture over the chicken and ham, stirring to combine.
Transfer the chicken mixture into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Top with shredded Swiss cheese and grated Parmesan cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown. The internal temperature of the casserole should reach 165°F (74°C).
Let the casserole cool for about 5 minutes before serving. This allows the sauce to set slightly for easier serving.
