Add a little bit of oil to a large skillet and heat it over medium-high heat. Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the hot skillet. Pan-fry until fully cooked, about 3-4 minutes per side, turning the pieces to ensure even cooking and char marks. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and place it on a cutting board.

While the chicken is cooking, prepare the bread. On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, place the sub rolls. In a small bowl, combine the melted butter and Italian herbs. Brush the top of each sub roll with the herb-butter mixture. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella or provolone mix evenly over the buttered bread. Place the baking sheet under the broiler until the bread is nice and toasty, and the cheese is melted and slightly browned, about 2-3 minutes. Watch carefully to prevent burning.

Let the cooked chicken rest for a few minutes on the cutting board. Then, slice the chicken into smaller, bite-sized pieces.

Remove the toasted bread from the oven. Carefully cut each sub roll lengthwise, but not all the way through, to create a pocket for the fillings. Place 2 slices of provolone or pepper jack cheese inside each opened bread. Return the bread to the oven briefly (under the broiler for about 1 minute or in a warm oven) to let the cheese melt.

In a clean bowl, toss the sliced chicken with the 1/2 cup of Sweet Onion Teriyaki Sauce until well coated.

To assemble the sandwiches: Evenly distribute the sauced chicken on one side of the melted cheese inside each bread. On the other side of the bread, add shredded lettuce, then layer with sliced tomatoes, sliced red onions, sliced pickles, banana peppers, and black olives. Drizzle mayonnaise generously over the fillings, followed by oil and vinegar dressing. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.

Close the sandwiches. For easier eating, cut each 'big and thick' sandwich in half. Serve immediately, perhaps with a side of chips.
