Cook the chicken: Place the chicken breast in a pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until cooked through. Remove, let cool slightly, then shred finely using two forks or a stand mixer.
Prepare the broccoli: Steam or blanch the broccoli florets until tender-crisp, about 3-5 minutes. Drain well and chop very finely.
Combine ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, finely chopped broccoli, shredded cheddar cheese, egg, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until everything is well combined.
Form the bites: Take small portions of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls or flatten them into small patties, about 1.5 inches in diameter.
Cook the bites: Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Carefully place the chicken and broccoli bites in the skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd. Cook for 3-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and heated through. Alternatively, you can bake them at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden.
Serve warm: Remove from the skillet or oven and serve immediately. These bites are delicious on their own or with your favorite dipping sauce.
