Instructions

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the gnocchi to the boiling water and cook according to the package instructions. Drain well, and set aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Spray with oil (or drizzle a little oil in the pan). Add the chicken, and give it a generous sprinkle of salt and pepper. Cook, flipping halfway, until golden brown and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
In the same skillet, heat the sun-dried tomato oil over medium-low heat. Add the shallot and garlic and saute until they become fragrant and translucent, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and cook until heated through, another 1 to 2 minutes.
Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and baby spinach to the skillet. Cook until the spinach wilts, 2 to 4 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and add the cream cheese, chicken broth, half and half and oregano. Stir until the cream cheese is fully melted and the sauce is well combined.
Return the cooked chicken along with the gnocchi to the skillet and let it simmer over low heat in the sauce for a few minutes until heated through. Sprinkle with the Parmesan, if using, and serve.
