  2. Spray a 9x13 inch glass baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
  3. Arrange 10 oz (280g) of chopped broccoli florets in the bottom of the baking dish. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup sliced almonds and arrange 2 cups (250g) cooked chicken breast on top of the broccoli.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together 10.75 oz (300g) can reduced-fat cream of mushroom soup, 1/2 cup light mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon sherry (optional), and 1-2 teaspoons curry powder (adjust to taste).
  5. Pour the sauce evenly over the chicken and broccoli.
  6. Sprinkle 1 cup (100g) shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
  7. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 45-50 minutes, or until the cheese is golden brown and bubbly, and the casserole is heated through.
