  1. Step 1: Prepare the chicken by cutting the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Step 2: In a large pan, heat 1 tbsp of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, then remove from the pan and set aside.

  7. Step 7: Stir in the cooked chicken pieces, butter, and grated Parmesan cheese. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper to taste.
  8. Step 8: Remove from the heat and let it sit for a minute. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
