Cheesy Angel Chicken Rice Casserole

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously spray a 9×13” casserole dish with cooking spray.
In a microwave-safe bowl, soften the cream cheese and butter in the microwave for 20-30 seconds. Whisk until smooth.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, rice, cream cheese mixture, cream of chicken soup, garlic, Italian dressing mix, chicken stock, half of the shredded cheese, salt, and pepper. Stir until evenly combined.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared casserole dish and spread evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top.
Cover with foil and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the casserole is bubbling.
Remove from the oven, uncover, and let cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve.
