Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch using a meat mallet.
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with half of the salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
In a medium skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove the spinach mixture from the heat and let it cool slightly.
In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, sautéed spinach, and remaining Italian seasoning until well combined.
Spread an even layer of the spinach and cream cheese mixture onto each chicken breast.
Roll up the chicken breasts tightly, tucking in the sides as you go, and secure them with toothpicks or kitchen twine.
In the same skillet, heat the remaining olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat.
Sear the chicken roulades on all sides until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken roulades to a baking dish.
Bake the chicken roulades in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
While the chicken bakes, make the sauce. In the same skillet, add the remaining butter and white wine. Cook over medium heat, scraping up any browned bits, until the wine reduces by half, about 3 minutes.
Add the chicken stock and let it simmer for another 3 minutes.
Stir in the heavy cream and continue to cook until the sauce thickens slightly, about 2-3 minutes.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Serve the chicken roulades sliced, drizzled with the creamy white wine sauce, and sprinkled with fresh parsley.
