Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
In a large bowl, combine the diced chicken, chopped celery, mayonnaise, condensed cream of chicken soup, and lemon juice. Mix well and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Spread this mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.
In another bowl, combine the crushed cornflakes, sliced almonds, grated Parmesan cheese, and melted butter. Toss until everything is well coated.
Spread this crunchy mixture over the chicken-celery-soup layer in the baking dish, ensuring it covers the entire surface.
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 20 minutes or until the casserole is heated through, and the topping is beautifully golden brown.

Notes

Ensure your chicken is cooked and diced to your liking. The addition of lemon juice adds a zesty freshness to balance the richness of the mayonnaise. The crunchy cornflake topping, with its toasted almonds and cheesy goodness, is the star of this dish. Serve it hot, and watch it disappear!
