Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick cooking spray.
In a large microwave-safe bowl, soften the cream cheese slightly by heating it for 20-30 seconds. Stir until smooth.
Add the sour cream, chicken broth, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the cream cheese. Whisk together until well combined and creamy.
In the prepared baking dish, arrange the frozen pierogi in a single layer.
Scatter the shredded chicken evenly over the pierogi.
Pour the cream cheese mixture over the chicken and pierogi, ensuring everything is coated.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese and grated Parmesan cheese evenly across the top.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes.
Garnish with sliced green onions before serving. Enjoy!
