Mix until the cheese is melted and incorporated into the sauce. Continue to let simmer, stirring occasionally while you prepare the chicken.
• Set up two shallow bowls. In one bowl, crack the egg and fork whisk to make an egg wash. In the second bowl, combine the parmesan cheese and dried Italian seasoning. Coat the chicken with the egg wash and then liberally coat with the parmesan mixture. Repeat this process with each piece of chicken.
• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium to medium hight heat. Once the pan is heated and the oil is hot, add the chicken to the pan. Cook for 5 minutes or until crispy and golden brown on the bottom. Flip and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the other side is golden brown and crispy. (Only flip the chicken once during cooking to ensure that the breading stays on.)

CREAMY GARLIC PARMESAN CHICKEN AND POTATOES

Steps:

• In a very large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil over medium high heat. When the oil is hot, add the potatoes, season with salt and pepper, and leave the potatoes alone for about 4 minutes, until the underside is browned. Flip the potatoes and let side for another 4 minutes, until the second underside is browned. Flip once more so that another uncooked side of the potatoes brown, another 4 minutes; the other sides of the potato cubes will not be browned, which is ok. Remove the potatoes with a slotted spoon or tongs to a plate.
• Meanwhile, combine the flour, 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon pepper in a shallow bowl.
• Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons in the same skillet over medium high heat. Dredge the chicken cutlets in the flour mixture. Once the oil is hot, cook the cutlets in the pan for about 3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown, and but not cooked through (still pink in the center). Transfer the cutlets to a large plate when they are browned.
• Turn the heat down to medium and add the onions. Cook, stirring frequently, for about 2 minutes, until the onions are slightly tender and golden. Stir in the garlic for 1 minute, until you can smell the garlic. Add the chicken broth, bring to a simmer and stir so that any browned bits stuck to the bottom of the pan are released into the liquid. Stir in the spinach, then add the cream, and Parmesan. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens slightly, about 2 minutes.
• Add the potatoes back to the pan and tuck the chicken back into the pan, with any juices that may have collected on the plate, making sure the chicken is at least mostly covered by the sauce. Cook for about 6 to 8 more minutes until the chicken and potatoes are cooked through.
• Sprinkle with the parsley, and serve hot in shallow bowls with the extra Parmesan passed on the side.

CREAMY PARMESAN CHICKEN

Steps:

• Make the coating: In a shallow plate combine the parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Dredge the chicken breasts through the cheese mixture and shake off any excess.
• Cook the chicken: In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter over low heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until golden on each side and cooked through, about 5 to 6 minutes per side. If you notice the chicken browns too quickly and doesn't cook in the middle, lower the heat and cook slowly. Transfer cooked chicken to a plate.
• Make the sauce: If there's too much parmesan cheese left in the bottom of the skillet, wipe clean with a paper towel. Add the remaining butter to the skillet and add the garlic, parsley, Italian seasoning and red pepper flakes. Cook for about 30 seconds until the garlic is aromatic. Deglaze the pan with the chicken broth. Stir in the heavy cream. Taste for seasoning and adjust with salt and pepper as necessary.
• Finish and serve: Return the chicken back to the skillet and simmer for another minute to warm up the chicken. Turn off the heat and spoon some of the sauce over the chicken. Serve immediately with pasta or steamed veggies.
