Chicken-Broccoli Casserole

This is a variation on my Mother-in-law's recipe for CHICKEN-BROCCOLI CASSEROLE. She gave each of her daughters-in-law a special family recipe... but as always, she left something out of each recipe... We had to get together one evening to "put the puzzle together" and fix the entire dish properly... the way that she always made it!!! But it turned out delicious, as it always had when she would make it in her "Hay-Day"...before she passed away as a result of cancer. But here it is:

3-5 Chicken Breasts: Cooked & Diced
3 Packages Frozen Broccoli (10 oz. Each)
Large Red Onion: Diced Fine
1 Can Cream Of Mushroom Soup
1 Can Cream Of Chicken Soup
Half a Cup of Mayonnaise or Miracle Whip
2-3 Tablespoons Lime Juice ('Realime' Brand is what my Mother-in-law used)
2 Packages Fine Shredded Cheddar, Divided

Mix mayo, soups, broccoli, onion, chicken, lime juice, & 1 cup of Cheddar together well & pour into a 9x13 inch baking dish that has been sprayed with "Pam" Cooking Spray to prevent it from sticking. Even it all out & top with the remainder of the cheddar cheese.

Bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes. Wait 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
ENJOY!!!
