## 👩🍳 How to Make It
### 1. **Prep the Potatoes**
In a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 tbsp olive oil and diced potatoes. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika. Cook for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and crispy. Remove and set aside.
### 2. **Cook the Chicken**
Add the remaining olive oil to the same skillet. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Sear for 4–5 minutes per side (or until cooked through and golden brown). Remove and set aside with the potatoes.
### 3. **Make the Garlic Parmesan Sauce**
Reduce heat to low. Add butter to the skillet and melt. Stir in minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Add Parmesan cheese and stir to combine into a flavorful, cheesy garlic sauce.
### 4. **Combine & Finish**
Return the chicken and potatoes to the skillet. Toss everything to coat well in the garlic Parmesan sauce. Heat for another 2–3 minutes to blend the flavors.
### 5. **Serve & Enjoy**
Garnish with fresh parsley and an extra sprinkle of Parmesan. Serve hot!
