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!

Yield 8 serving(s)

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.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my casserole turned out watery. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This casserole was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it better with some more spices.

This casserole was a bit too cheesy for my taste, but my kids loved it. I might try using less cheese next time.

This casserole was easy to make and very tasty. I used a rotisserie chicken to save time, and it worked out perfectly. The broccoli was a nice addition, and the cheese sauce was rich and creamy.
