Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the low-sodium cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, Greek yogurt, garlic powder, onion powder, and thyme until the texture is velvety and smooth.
- Gently fold in the cooked rice and chicken to avoid breaking the grains.
- Stir in the broccoli florets, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Spread the mixture evenly into a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Top with a uniform layer of shredded cheddar and Parmesan cheese.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25–30 minutes, or until the edges are bubbling and the cheese has transformed into a mahogany-colored crust.
- Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
