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.
