Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or a small amount of oil.
In a medium bowl, combine the chicken broth, cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir or whisk until smooth and well combined.
Pour the uncooked rice evenly into the prepared baking dish. Spread it out to cover the bottom in an even layer.
Pour the soup mixture over the rice, spreading it gently with a spatula to ensure the rice is covered evenly.
Lay the chicken breasts on top of the rice and soup mixture. Season the chicken with a pinch of additional paprika, salt, and pepper if desired.
Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and scatter them evenly over the chicken breasts.
Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil to trap in moisture and ensure even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes to allow the chicken and rice to brown slightly on top.
Check to ensure the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C) and the rice is tender. If needed, return to the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, before serving.
