Method
 

  1. Step 1: Cook the potatoes in 1 tablespoon oil for 12 to 15 minutes until golden and tender, then set aside.
  2. Tip: Cut them small so they cook evenly.
  3. Step 2: Season the chicken with the salt, garlic powder, paprika, and Italian seasoning.
  4. Step 3: Cook the chicken in the remaining oil for 6 to 7 minutes until browned and cooked through.
  5. Tip: Chicken should reach 165°F.
  6. Step 4: Add the butter and garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
  7. Step 5: Pour in the broth and cream, simmer 3 minutes, then stir in the Parmesan.
  8. Tip: Keep the heat low so the cheese melts smoothly.
  9. Step 6: Return the potatoes to the pan, toss, and garnish with parsley.
