Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish and set aside.
Boil the chicken breasts in a large pot of water for 15-20 minutes or until fully cooked. Remove the chicken from the water and shred it using two forks. Set aside.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the egg noodles according to the package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until smooth.
Add the shredded chicken, cooked egg noodles, and 1 1/2 cups of cheddar cheese to the soup mixture. Stir gently to combine.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared casserole dish, spreading it out evenly.
In a small skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the panko breadcrumbs and cook, stirring frequently, until golden brown (about 2-3 minutes). Remove from heat.
Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the casserole. Then, sprinkle the toasted breadcrumbs on top of the cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbling and the top is golden brown.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it sit for 5 minutes before serving. If desired, garnish with fresh parsley.
