Cheesy Creamy Chicken and Broccoli Casserole

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!

• Ready In: 55 mins

Ingredients

• 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

1. Preheat oven to 350°; you'll need a 13 x 9 pan for this recipe.
2. In the 13 x 9 pan, spread out the broccoli; then layer the chicken atop the broccoli.
3. Combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, soup, lime juice, garlic and salt & pepper.
4. Spread this mixture over the broccoli/chicken; top with the cheddar cheese.
5. Cover with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
