Cheesy Creamy Chicken and Broccoli Casserole image

After trying 4 different Zaar recipes for Broccoli and Cheese Casseroles, I remained unimpressed...I kept having to take out ingredients I didn't like...So it came to me that I could take what I liked from each and create something NEW and it worked! Here is the resulting recipe...Serve with hot rice or pasta if you want starch with your meal...Enjoy!

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, about 3 cups (steamed and cubed)
1 lb broccoli, steamed and chopped (frozen may be substituted, but steam it too)
1 cup light sour cream (Cabot preferred)
1 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise (Kraft preferred)
10 ounces cream of chicken soup, undiluted (98% fat free works, too)
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
2 cups low-fat cheddar cheese, shredded
salt, to taste (optional)
1/2 teaspoon white pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°; you'll need a 13 x 9 pan for this recipe.
  • In the 13 x 9 pan, spread out the broccoli; then layer the chicken atop the broccoli.
  • Combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, soup, lime juice, garlic and salt & pepper.
  • Spread this mixture over the broccoli/chicken; top with the cheddar cheese.
  • Cover with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
  • Remove the foil and bake 15 minutes, more or less, until hot and bubbly.
  • TIP: you may serve this with hot rice or pasta if you want a starch with your meal.

This casserole is a great way to use up leftover chicken and broccoli. It's also a great freezer meal. I just make a double batch and freeze half of it for later.
