Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked, shredded chicken, cooked white rice, condensed French onion soup, condensed cream of mushroom or chicken soup, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Transfer the chicken and rice mixture into the prepared 9×13-inch baking dish, spreading it out into an even layer.
Generously sprinkle the 2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of the casserole. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the cheese is melted and lightly golden.
Remove the baking dish from the oven. Evenly sprinkle the 1.5 cups of French fried onions over the melted mozzarella. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, until the French fried onions are golden brown and crispy.
Let the casserole rest for about 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with 2 tablespoons of freshly chopped parsley for a touch of freshness and color. Serve warm.
