1. Preheat oven (if baking):

Preheat to 400°F (200°C). If you’re doing this in a skillet, preheating isn’t necessary.

2. Prepare potatoes:

• In a large bowl, toss chopped potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning.

• Spread on a baking sheet or in a skillet and roast or sear for 15 minutes to begin softening.

3. Cook the chicken:

• While potatoes are baking, season chicken with salt, pepper, paprika, and the remaining Italian seasoning.

• In a large oven-safe skillet (or sauté pan), heat remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and sear chicken pieces for 3–4 minutes, just until golden (they’ll finish in the oven or with potatoes). Remove and set aside.

4. Make garlic butter:

• In the same pan, melt 2 tbsp butter and sauté garlic for about 1 minute until fragrant.

• Return potatoes and chicken to the pan and toss to coat everything in the garlic butter.

5. Add Parmesan & finish cooking:

• Sprinkle in Parmesan cheese and stir gently to coat.

• If baking: transfer skillet to the oven and roast another 15–20 minutes until chicken is cooked through (165°F/74°C internal temp) and potatoes are tender.

• If stovetop only: Cover and cook on medium-low until potatoes are fork-tender, stirring occasionally.

6. Garnish & serve:

• Top with chopped parsley, extra Parmesan, or a squeeze of lemon juice for brightness.

• Serve hot with a green salad or roasted veggies.
