Place chicken on a large plate; freeze until slightly firm, about 1 hour.
Place the oven rack to the middle position of the oven; heat oven to 400 degrees.
Using a sharp knife, shave the frozen chicken as thinly as possible against the grain. Mound the meat on a cutting board and chop coarsely, 10 - 20 times.
Split rolls open; spread on a baking sheet; toast until lightly browned, 5 - 10 minutes.
Heat 1 T. oil in 12-inch non-stick skillet over high heat until just smoking. Add half of the chicken in an even layer; cook, without stirring, until well-browned, 4 - 5 minutes; stir; cook until chicken is no longer pink, 1 - 2 minutes. Transfer the meat to a colander to drain.
Wipe out skillet with paper towels; repeat with the remaining 1 T. oil and chopped chicken. Return the now empty skillet to medium heat. Drain the excess moisture from the chicken; return chicken to the skillet; add salt and pepper; cook, stirring constantly, until chicken is warmed through, 1 - 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low; sprinkle with Parmesan cheese; lay American cheese over the top. Let cheeses melt, about 2 minutes. Fold the melted cheese into the chicken thoroughly.
Divide the mixture evenly among the toasted rolls. Serve.
