Phase difference RLC circuit

For a parallel RLC circuit, I have found the complex impedance to be 1/ (1/R -j(1/wL +wC)) . I need to find the phase difference between the voltage and current in the circuit. I know it's given by tan^-1(im(z)/re(z)) but how do I do it here as the expression is a fraction?

I'm doing this question to prepare for exams but i got stuck here. Because it's not in standard complex form, i don't know how to find angle theta. I could rationalize the denominator but i might end up with a messier expression.
