Wash spinach; place in saucepan and cook, covered, only with the water clinging to the leaves, until barely wilted. Drain spinach well, squeezing out excess water. Chop and set aside.
Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a skillet until hot; add onion and mushrooms and saute until tender. Add garlic, oregano, spinach, and pepper to taste. Cook and stir for 1 minute. Set aside.
Meanwhile, flatten each chicken breast by placing between 2 layers of waxed paper or plastic wrap; pound with rolling pin or heavy plate edge until about 1/4-inch thick.
Spoon one quarter of the mushroom mixture onto center of each chicken breast; roll lengthwise and secure with wooden toothpicks. Place breasts in a 9-inch shallow baking pan.
Combine wine with remaining oil and spoon over chicken.

Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
