Equipment

9x13 inch (23x33 cm) baking dish
Mixing bowls
Measuring cups and spoons
Grater for cheese
Oven

Ingredients

1.5 pounds cooked chicken breast, diced
8 ounces ham, diced
1 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon paprika
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1.5 cups Swiss cheese, shredded
½ cup almond flour
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper, stirring until well mixed.
Fold in the diced chicken and ham into the cream mixture, ensuring they are well-coated.
Spread the chicken and ham mixture evenly in a greased 9x13 inch (23x33 cm) baking dish.
Sprinkle the shredded Swiss cheese over the top of the chicken and ham layer.
In a small bowl, mix together the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, and melted butter until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
Evenly distribute the almond flour topping over the layer of Swiss cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the topping has turned golden brown.
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

For a crispier topping, place the casserole under the broiler for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

If you're meal prepping, this casserole can be assembled ahead of time and refrigerated overnight before baking. Just remember to add a few extra minutes to the cooking time if starting from cold.

To keep the dish as low in carbs as possible, ensure that the ham used does not contain added sugars.
