Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice, lemon zest, olive oil, black pepper, salt, and garlic powder to make a marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish, pour the marinade over them, and let them sit for 10-15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the marinated chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Transfer the seared chicken breasts to a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly.
While the chicken cooks, prepare the sandwich spread. In a small bowl, mix the Dijon mustard and mayonnaise until smooth. Set aside.
Slice the tomato and red onion thinly, and wash and pat dry the lettuce leaves.
Slice the deli rolls in half horizontally and lightly toast them if desired.
Spread the Dijon and mayonnaise mixture on both cut sides of the deli roll.
Layer the bottom half of each roll with lettuce, tomato slices, red onion, and slices of the cooked lemon pepper chicken.
Top with the other half of the deli roll and serve immediately.
