Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, steamed broccoli, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, 1 1/2 cups of cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles. Place a heaping spoonful of the chicken mixture onto the wide end of each triangle. Roll up the crescent rolls, starting at the wide end and tucking the filling inside as much as possible.
Arrange the filled crescent rolls seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Spoon any remaining chicken mixture around the crescent rolls in the dish.
Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
In a small bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs with the melted butter until coated. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the cheese layer.
Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and the casserole is bubbling.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired before serving.
