Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray or butter.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, cooked white rice, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, milk, 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese, 0.5 cups of shredded cheddar cheese, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Spread the chicken and rice mixture evenly into the prepared casserole dish.
In a small bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs with the melted butter until the crumbs are evenly coated.
Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cups of mozzarella cheese and 0.5 cups of cheddar cheese over the top of the casserole.
Evenly distribute the buttered panko breadcrumbs over the cheese layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the top is golden brown.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm. Enjoy!
