Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set it aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine cream of chicken soup, sour cream, cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth.

Transfer the chicken mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out into an even layer.

In a small bowl, combine breadcrumbs and melted butter. Mix until the breadcrumbs are coated. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.
Place the casserole dish into the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling around the edges.
Allow the casserole to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
