Gradually add milk, stirring until thickened. Stir in Parmesan cheese and cream until melted. Season with salt and pepper, then stir in chicken.
Pour the chicken and sauce mixture over the spinach layer in the baking dish.
Melt 2 tablespoons of butter, then toss with breadcrumbs and spread over the casserole.
