Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish. Set aside.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add chicken cubes and season with salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is golden brown and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Set aside.
Thaw the frozen broccoli according to package instructions. Drain well, patting dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
In a large bowl, mix together cream of chicken soup, mayonnaise, sour cream, cheddar cheese, milk, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, and remaining ¼ teaspoon pepper.
Fold the cooked chicken and thawed, drained broccoli into the sauce mixture.
Spread the chicken and broccoli mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.
In a small bowl, combine breadcrumbs and melted butter.
Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.
Bake for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling around the edges.
Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
