Preheat your oven to 350°F.
In a 9x13 inch baking dish, add the cheddar broccoli rice mix, chicken broth, cream of chicken soup, and one can of water.
Add the frozen broccoli florets and about half of the shredded cheddar cheese, then stir everything together.
Season the cubed chicken with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Add the seasoned raw chicken to the baking dish and stir to combine, spreading the mixture into an even layer.
Top the casserole with the remaining shredded cheddar cheese.
Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil.
Bake covered for approximately 45-50 minutes.

Bake uncovered for another 10-15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
