Chicken Meatballs:
In a large bowl, mix together ground chicken, seasonings, Panko, Parmesan cheese, egg, and 1 T. olive oil; mix just until combined; form into 12 meatballs.
Heat the remaining T. olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; brown meatballs on all sides; transfer to a plate/platter.
Alfredo Sauce:
In the same skillet used to make the meatballs, turn heat to low; add butter and cream; simmer on low heat for 2 minutes. Whisk in garlic, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Transfer meatballs back into skillet; cover; simmer over low heat for 10 minutes.
While meatballs are simmering, preheat oven to broil. Butter the rolls, if desired; toast under broiler for 2-3 minutes until golden.
After 10 minutes, stir the Parmesan cheese into the meatballs and sauce.
Serve the meatballs in the prepared buns, placing 3 on each roll.
