   • Gradually add the milk while whisking to avoid lumps.
   • Stir in the cream cheese until it melts, followed by ½ cup of Gruyère cheese.
   • Add the shredded chicken, season with salt and pepper, and mix well. Remove from heat.
3. Prepare the béchamel:
   • Melt butter in a pan over medium heat. Add the flour and cook until lightly golden.
   • Gradually whisk in the milk until the sauce thickens.
   • Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg. Set aside.
4. Assemble the Palmsticcio:
   • Layer Palmsticcio sheets, the creamy chicken mixture, and turkey ham. Repeat the layers one more time.
5. Top it off: Cover the layers with béchamel and sprinkle the remaining Gruyère cheese on top.
6. Bake: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake the dish for 30 minutes until bubbly and golden.
7. Finish and serve: Let it rest for a few minutes, garnish with fresh parsley, and enjoy!
