Broccoli and Chicken Casserole

 I obtained this recipe from a girl at work. She was eating it left over for lunch one day and it looked so good! I made it the other night for dinner and it was pretty good. It was better left over (as are most casseroles). Hope ya'll enjoy!

3 cups of chicken (It ended up being 2 chicken breasts. I cubed it. You could do it anyway you wanted. You could leave it whole or boil it and then shred it)
1 can of cream of mushroom or celery
1 can of cream of chicken
1 cup of mayo or salad dsg (I used 1 cup of nonfat greek yogurt which by the way cuts the calories tremendously!)
1 cup of shredded cheese
1 pkg of Ritz crackers (I used club crackers and it worked perfectly)
1 stick of butter or margarine( We only used about 1/2 the stick)
2 pkg frozen chopped broccoli

Let your frozen broccoli thaw before hand. After thawed, place in the bottom of a 13 x 9 casserole dish. In a separate bowl mix chicken, soups, and yogurt (or whatever you decide to use). Pour this mixture over the broccoli, add the cheese and crackers. Then take the stick of butter and slice it up and put over the top. Use however much you think you might like. We had the whole stick placed on there at first, and it just looked like a lot of butter. If you use raw chicken bake at 350 for about 45 minutes. If you decide to boil your chicken and then shred it, just bake it long enough for everything to warm to desired temp.
We at this 2 nights for supper and 1 day for lunch. I mixed this up a day ahead of time so all Justin had to do was put it in the oven the next night! I am always looking for good casserole recipes, so if any of you have any please post in the comments section for this recipe!
