Instructions

In a bowl, toss the chicken with Worcestershire, 1 tsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, and black pepper. Let it marinate briefly.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Add 1 tsp olive oil and butter. Add onions and peppers with a pinch of salt. Cook 6–8 minutes until tender and caramelized. Stir in garlic and Italian seasoning for 30 seconds. Transfer vegetables to a plate.
Return skillet to high heat. Add chicken in an even layer. Sear 1–2 minutes, then stir and cook 3–4 more minutes until just cooked and lightly browned. Season with remaining salt and pepper.
Reduce heat to medium-low. Return vegetables to the skillet and toss with chicken. Make 4 mounds and top each with 1–2 slices of provolone. Cover with a lid or foil until cheese melts, 30–60 seconds.
Spread rolls with optional mayo or butter. Scoop cheesy chicken and vegetables into rolls. Serve hot.

Notes

Slice chicken thin and evenly for faster, uniform cooking.
Cook over high heat quickly to maintain juiciness.
Don’t overcrowd the pan to avoid steaming the chicken.
Toast the rolls briefly to prevent sogginess.
Optional: add mushrooms or drizzle with cheese sauce for variations.
