Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Place the chicken breasts in a pot and add water to cover them. Add a pinch of salt.
Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook the chicken for 15-20 minutes or until fully cooked and no longer pink inside.
While the chicken is cooking, steam the broccoli florets until just tender, about 5-7 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Once the chicken is cooked, remove from the water and allow to cool slightly. Shred the chicken using two forks or by hand.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free cream of chicken soup, sour cream, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well until smooth.
Add the shredded chicken and broccoli to the mixture. Stir until the chicken and broccoli are well-coated.
Transfer the mixture into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Use a spatula to spread it evenly.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.
In a small bowl, combine the gluten-free breadcrumbs with olive oil until they are moistened.
Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the cheese layer.
Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the breadcrumbs are golden brown.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
