Ingredients:

  • 680 g boneless skinless chicken breasts, sliced into thin cutlets
  • 225 g deli ham, thinly sliced
  • 225 g Swiss cheese, shredded
  • 240 ml sour cream
  • 120 ml 2% milk
  • 5 g garlic powder
  • 5 g onion powder
  • 3 g salt
  • 1 g black pepper
  • 100 g Panko breadcrumbs
  • 57 g unsalted butter, melted
  • 25 g Parmesan cheese, grated

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease your baking dish with butter or oil Note: This prevents the chicken from sticking to the bottom.
  2. Lay the chicken cutlets in a single layer at the bottom of the dish.
  3. Top each piece of chicken with a slice of ham.
  4. Sprinkle half of the shredded Swiss cheese evenly over the ham.
  5. In a medium bowl, whisk together the sour cream, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  6. Pour this mixture over the chicken and cheese layers, spreading it with a spatula until everything is completely submerged in the sauce.
  7. Combine melted butter, breadcrumbs, and Parmesan in a small bowl.
  8. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the sauce.
  9. Bake for 35-40 minutes until the sauce is bubbling and the topping has turned a deep mahogany brown.
  10. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), as suggested by [USDA Food Safety](https://fdc.nal.usda.gov).
