For a richer flavor, use freshly grated Parmesan cheese instead of the pre-grated variety. Adjust the amount of cornstarch to your liking, depending on how thick you prefer your sauce. Feel free to add other vegetables to this dish, such as sliced mushrooms, bell peppers, or spinach. For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce. If you don't have breaded and fried chicken, you can use grilled or baked chicken instead.
