2 whole boneless, skinless chicken breast.  Evenly slice into +4 equal fillets. Lightly sprinkle each piece with olive oil. Toss the chicken in the seasoning.  Make sure the chicken is evenly coated on all sides. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Add a slice of fontina cheese on top of each piece of chicken, bake for about 2-minutes or until the cheese melts. Remove from the oven. It’s now time to assemble your sandwich.  Grill your rolls in butter until lightly browned. Spinach, tomatoes, red onions, and spicy mayonnaise.
