1
Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.

4
Coarsely chop the thin strips and add to the bowl.
5
Stack the basil leaves together, then roll them up into a log.
6
Shred the basil by thinly slicing the log (this makes a chiffonade).

Add the basil to the bowl.
8
Drizzle EVOO over the bowl.

Mix the ingredients together and form 4 patties, 3/4 inch thick.

12
To the hot skillet, add the 2 tablespoons of EVOO (twice around the pan), then the peppers and onions.
13
Season the mixture with salt and pepper.
14
Cook until just tender, about 6 to 7 minutes.
15
Toast the rolls on a broiler pan under the hot broiler.
16
Place the remaining garlic and the butter in a small dish and microwave for 15 seconds on High to melt the butter.
17
Brush the toasted roll tops with garlic butter and reserve.
18
Leave the bun bottoms on the broiler pan.
19
Place the patties on the bun bottoms, then top with the peppers and onions and sliced Provolone cheese.
20
Place the chicken sandwiches under the broiler again for 30 seconds to 1 minute to melt the cheese.
21
Set the buttered tops in place and serve!
22
Trim a sliver off one side of the peeled whole onion to keep it stable as you slice it into disks: Give it feet for stability.
