Method

  1. In a small bowl, combine the vinegar, 1/2 cup of oil, mustard, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper. Whisk them together.

  2. Liberally rub the marinade onto each chicken cutlet.

  3. Line a quarter sheet pan with parchment paper and arrange the chicken cutlets on it.

  4. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and place it in the freezer for 30 minutes until the chicken slightly freezes.

  5. Remove the pan from the freezer and, using a sharp knife, thinly chip the slightly frozen chicken meat.

  6. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat.

  7. Add the onions to the pan and cook them until slightly browned, approximately 2 minutes.

  8. Add the garlic and the chipped chicken meat to the pan and cook until the chicken is fully cooked, about 5 minutes.

  9. Stir in the chives.

  10. Arrange the pepperoni slices on top of the chicken and repeat with the cheese slices.

  11. Turn off the heat and allow the heat from the meat to melt the provolone cheese.

  12. Use a spatula to scoop up the chicken with the melted cheese and place it on the split roll.

  13. Spread some cherry pepper spread on the side of the roll.

  14. Wrap the roll tightly in a square of parchment paper.

  15. Repeat the process with the remaining rolls and filling.
