Bring quinoa and chicken broth to a boil in large pot, reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Add broccoli and onion on top to steam. Cover and cook 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat olive oil in large skillet over medium high heat. Add chicken, season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, and saute until no longer pink. Remove to a plate and set aside then wipe skillet out with a dry paper towel.

Preheat broiler. Spray 9x13 baking dish with non-stick spray. Combine quinoa and broccoli mix with cheese sauce and scoop the mixture into the baking dish. Top with the remaining cheese. Broil until cheese is melted and let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving.
