Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set it aside.
Cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, sour cream, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the mixture is smooth.
Add the shredded chicken, cooked spaghetti, sautéed onion and garlic, 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, and 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese to the soup mixture. Mix everything thoroughly.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it into an even layer.
Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of mozzarella cheese and the remaining 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese on top.
In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with olive oil until evenly coated. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the cheese layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, before serving.
