    Ingredients

    • 3 lbs broccoli, stems removed
    • 1 1/2 cup butter
    • 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
    • 3 cups chicken broth
    • 3 cups milk
    • 1 Tbsp black pepper
    • 2 Tbsp ground nutmeg
    • 1 1/2 cups grateed parmesan
    • 8 oz dry sherry, cut into cubes
    • 4 lbs cooked chopped chicken or turkey
    • 3 cups sliced or toasted almonds
    • 1 1/2 cup heavy cream

    Directions

    1. Steam broccoli florets until tender, about 5 to 7 minutes and drain. Preheat oven to 350 F. Spray or butter a shallow 2 quart or hotel pan and set aside.
    2. In a medium-size saucepan, melt the butter over moderate heat, then add the flour and stir for 1 minute. Gradually add the broth and milk and stir until thickened. Season with salt and pepper; add nutmeg, 1/4 cup of the cheese, and the sherry.
    3. Stir until the cheese melts, and remove from heat. Arrange the broccoli in the prepared casserole in a single layer; sprinkle the almonds over the top.
    4. In a medium-size mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form, fold into the cheese sauce, pour evenly oven the chicken and almonds, and bake until bubble and golden brown, about 35 minutes.
