Wash fresh spinach thoroughly; drain fresh or thawed frozen spinach well. Chop spinach. Cut chicken into 1-inch pieces. Place in lightly greased baking pan or dish with spinach and onions. In a small bowl, whisk cornstarch, lemon juice, and white wine until blended. Pour mixture over chicken filling; stir in garlic, Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper. Bake 20 minutes; set aside.
To make biscuit crust: In a large bowl, combine crust ingredients. Stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until a stiff dough forms. Spoon dough on top of chicken filling to create a cobblestone effect. Increase heat to 425 degrees. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until crust is golden brown. Cool 5 minutes before serving. This recipe serves 4 to 5.
