Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Grease a 10 in. round gratin dish with non-stick cooking spray.
Steam broccoli in a steamer rack over boiling water for 4 minutes or until bright green and tender.
Arrange steamed broccoli in the prepared gratin dish; top with chicken and red peppers.
In a medium saucepan, melt 3 T. butter over medium heat. Add flour; cook 1 minute, whisking constantly. Add milk and broth; cook, whisking constantly, until mixture comes to a boil. Reduce heat so mixture bubbles gently; cook, whisking constantly, 2 minutes. Stir in nutmeg, salt and pepper. Remove from heat; stir in cheese. Pour over gratin.
In a small skillet, melt remaining 2 t. butter; add bread crumbs; mix to combine. Sprinkle over gratin.
Bake 10 minutes or until bubbling hot.
