Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Fill a small pot with 1 inch of water, and add the broccoli florets.
Bring water to a boil; reduce heat, and put the lid on for four minutes.
Remove the broccoli from the heat, and drain; set aside.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over low heat (about 1.5 - 2 minutes)
Add flour, and stir to combine; cook for about a minute on low.
Add the milk, chicken broth, garlic salt, pepper and cooking sherry, and whisk to combine.
Cook on medium low until thickened, about 2 minutes.
Stir in the cheese and sour cream.
Turn off the heat, and continue to stir until the cheese chunks melt.
Spray a 2.5 quart casserole dish with cooking spray.
Sprinkle in the shredded chicken and cooked broccoli evenly.
Pour the cheese sauce mixture over the chicken and broccoli, and sprinkle with a bit of paprika (about 1/8 teaspoon) for garnish.
Bake at 375 until bubble and golden, about 24 minutes.
