Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Butterfly the chicken breasts by slicing them horizontally without cutting all the way through.

Pound the chicken to an even thickness using a meat mallet.

Mix cream cheese, garlic, spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, parmesan, basil, salt, and black pepper in a bowl until well combined.

Spread the mixture evenly over the chicken breasts.

Roll the chicken tightly, starting from one end, and secure with kitchen twine or toothpicks.

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Sear the chicken roulade on all sides until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Transfer the seared roulade to a baking dish and drizzle with lemon juice.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.

Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Serve warm, garnished with fresh herbs.
