Preheat the oven to 375°F. In a small saucepan, bring the chicken broth to a boil.
In a 1-quart baking dish, combine the rice, raw chicken pieces, salsa verde, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Pour the boiling broth over the mixture and stir well to combine.
Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake until the rice is tender and the chicken is cooked through, about 35 minutes. Done when rice is tender and chicken is white throughout, 165°F.
Remove the foil and stir the rice. Sprinkle the mozzarella over the top. Return to the oven until the cheese is melted, about 5 minutes. Top with cilantro before serving. Done when cheese is melted and bubbly.
