Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray or a light coat of olive oil.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, chopped bell peppers, diced onion, cooked rice, drained diced tomatoes, and corn. Add garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.
In another bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, 1 cup of cheddar cheese, and Italian seasoning until smooth and creamy.
Pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetable mixture. Stir until everything is evenly coated.
Pour the casserole mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese over the top of the casserole.
Place in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and lightly golden brown.
Once baked, let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
