Ingredients:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 4 slices of ham (thinly sliced)
• 4 slices of Swiss cheese (or your preferred cheese)
• 1 cup breadcrumbs (Italian-seasoned or plain)
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup cream of chicken soup (or homemade)
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken:
   • Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
2. Layer Ingredients:
   • In the slow cooker, place the chicken breasts in a single layer.
   • Top each chicken breast with a slice of ham and a slice of Swiss cheese.
3. Mix the Sauce:
   • In a bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, milk, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well and pour it over the chicken.
4. Add Breadcrumbs:
   • In a separate bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle the mixture over the top of the soup-covered chicken.
5. Cook:
   • Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours or on high for 2-3 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
6. Serve:
   • Once cooked, carefully remove the chicken from the slow cooker. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired. It pairs well with rice, pasta, or a side salad.

Tips:

• For extra flavor, you can add some herbs like thyme or rosemary to the sauce.
• If you want a crispier topping, you can transfer the chicken to a baking dish after slow cooking and broil it for a few minutes.
