Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a shallow bowl or plate, combine the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, paprika, and all-purpose flour.
Coat each chicken breast in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
In a large oven-safe skillet or baking dish, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, remove from heat.
Place the floured chicken breasts in the buttered skillet or baking dish, turning them to coat both sides in butter.
In a small bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup and milk until smooth.
Pour the soup mixture over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes.
After 40 minutes, uncover the dish and bake for an additional 10 minutes to allow the top to brown slightly.
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Serve warm with your choice of sides.
