Heat the oven and prepare the dish

• Heat the oven to 375 °F.
• Spray a 9×13 baking dish with cooking spray.

Combine the base ingredients

• Dump the orzo, soup, broth and chicken into the dish.
• Sprinkle on the garlic powder, pepper and hot sauce.
• Add the frozen broccoli straight from the bag and stir well so the orzo is under the liquid.

Bake covered

• Cover the dish tightly with foil.
• Bake at 375 °F until the orzo is tender.

Add the cheese and topping

• Uncover and stir; the mixture should look loose and creamy.
• Stir in half the cheddar, then top with the rest and the crushed Cheez-Its.

Bake uncovered and rest

• Bake uncovered until the topping is melted and golden.
• Let it sit before serving and taste before adding any salt.
