Prepare the Casserole:

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

Spread uncooked rice evenly on the bottom of the baking dish.

Arrange chicken breasts or cubes on top of the rice.

Make the Sauce:

4. In a large bowl, whisk together cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, chicken broth, sour cream, cream cheese, dry Italian dressing mix, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until smooth.

5. Pour sauce evenly over chicken and rice.

Bake:

6. Cover with foil and bake for 50-55 minutes until rice is tender and chicken is cooked through.

7. If using cheese, sprinkle mozzarella or cheddar on top during the last 10 minutes of baking.

Serve:

8. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

9. Serve hot with a side salad or green beans.
