Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
2. In a large bowl, combine the chicken broth, cream of chicken soup, diced onion, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
3. Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch and prevents the rice from becoming too sticky.
4. Spread the rinsed rice evenly in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
5. Place the chicken breasts on top of the rice in a single layer.
6. Sprinkle the frozen mixed vegetables over the chicken.
7. Pour the chicken broth mixture evenly over the chicken, rice, and vegetables in the baking dish.
8. Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the rice is tender.
10. Remove the foil from the baking dish and sprinkle paprika over the top for color.
11. Return the casserole to the oven, uncovered, and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden brown.
12. Remove from the oven and let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving.
13. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving, if desired.
