4.Bring the extra water to the boil in a large saucepan. Add chicken; return to the boil. Reduce heat; simmer, partially covered, for 12 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Remove chicken; cool 10 minutes then shred coarsely.
5.Return water to the boil; cook spinach for 1 minute or until wilted. Drain, rinse under cold water; drain. Squeeze out excess water.
6.Lightly beat remaining eggs in a large bowl. Add spinach, chicken, garlic, rice, fetta, ricotta, green onion and parsley; stir to combine. Fill pastry case with chicken filling.
