Instructions
- Prepare the Potatoes: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss halved potatoes with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast on a baking sheet for 20-25 minutes until golden and crispy.

- Incorporate Parmesan Cheese: Reduce heat to low, stir in Parmesan cheese until melted and combined.
- Combine Everything: Return chicken to the skillet, spooning sauce over it. Add roasted potatoes, tossing gently to coat.
- Final Touches: Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately.
