In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients for the Chicken Spinach filling.
Lightly oil a 8-inch diameter round cake form or a 8x8-inch square pan.
Layer one sheet of filo pastry in the form, press it so that it gets right into the edges of the pan. Lightly brush with oil.
Place another sheet of filo pastry on top, turning it slightly so that the corners overlap and do not stack. Lightly brush with oil.
Repeat with the rest of the filo sheets, turning each of them slightly so that all corners overlap. Do not oil the last sheet of filo pastry.
Spread the Chicken Spinach Filling on top of the prepared filo crust.
Wrap all the hanging edges around the filling, creating a top crust. It will be crumpled.NOTE: if the filo sheets aren't long enough to create a sufficient top crust, then add another 1-2 filo sheets on top to fully cover the filling.
Brush the top crumpled filo crust with the remaining oil.
Bake for 25 minutes or until the Chicken Spinach Filo Pie is beautifully golden and the top layer is crunchy.

Notes
Make sure to follow the tips on how to work with filo dough that I outlined in the post above.The most important thing is to keep unused filo dough covered with damp towel while you create the crust.
