2 large bunch fresh broccoli, cut into florets (or 2 10-ounce packages of frozen broccoli florets)
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 2 pounds)
salt and pepper, to taste
2 (10 1/2 ounce) cans condensed cream of chicken soup (or cream of mushroom)
1 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup canned low sodium chicken broth
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon curry powder
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional, but recommended)
3 tablespoons dry sherry (optional, but adds a wonderful taste)
1 1/2 cups finely shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1 1/2 tablespoons butter, melted
pimento strips (optional, but adds a decorative touch)

1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2
Season chicken with salt and pepper and put in a glass baking dish with a small amount of water in the bottom. Bake for 20 minutes; then let cool; cut into strips or bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
3
Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly-salted water to a boil. Cook broccoli for 6 to 8 minutes, or until just tender; drain.
4
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine soup, mayonnaise, chicken broth, lemon juice, curry powder, nutmeg, sherry if desired, and Cheddar cheese.
5
Arrange broccoli in the bottom of a lightly greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Place chicken pieces on top of broccoli. Pour soup mixture evenly over chicken and broccoli (you can lightly toss mixture, if desired).
6
In a small bowl, combine Parmesan cheese and bread crumbs; add melted butter and mix together. Sprinkle bread crumb mixture evenly over casserole.
7
Bake, uncovered, in 350 degree oven for 40 minutes, or until golden and bubbly. Trim with pimento strips, if desired.
