Preheat your oven to 375°F and lightly grease a small oven-safe baking dish or ramekin.
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the chickpea pasta for 2 minutes less than the package directions to ensure it remains firm during baking.
While the pasta cooks, steam the broccoli florets until just tender, about 3 minutes.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, half of the shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper.
Drain the pasta and immediately toss it with the yogurt sauce, diced cooked chicken, and steamed broccoli until every piece is thoroughly coated.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish and sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
Bake for 15 minutes until the cheese is melted and the sauce is bubbling and golden around the edges.
