For extra flavor, try using smoked ham or Gruyere cheese. If you don't have avocado oil, olive oil or coconut oil can be substituted. To ensure even cooking, make sure the chicken cutlets are pounded to a uniform thickness.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Season chicken cutlets with salt and pepper; set aside.
Whisk eggs and Dijon mustard together in a shallow bowl. Combine almond flour, Parmesan cheese, and garlic powder in a separate shallow bowl. Dip chicken cutlets into egg mixture, letting excess drip off. Dredge with almond flour mixture, then set on a plate.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken cutlets and cook until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip over and cook until chicken is no longer pink inside and the juices are running clear, 3 to 4 minutes more.
Place chicken cutlets on a baking sheet. Top with ham slices and cover with Swiss cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven until cheese has melted, 4 to 5 minutes. Serve immediately.
