# How to Make It:

01 - Combine flour, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder in a shallow dish.
02 - Coat chicken cubes thoroughly in the seasoned flour mixture.
03 - Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the floured chicken and cook for 4 to 5 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature reaches 74°C). Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
04 - To the same skillet, add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring constantly to combine.
05 - Stir in grated Parmesan cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, oregano, thyme, and red pepper flakes. Lower the heat to medium-low and allow to simmer gently.
06 - Add gnocchi to the sauce. Cover and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the gnocchi are tender and cooked through.
07 - Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, stir to combine, and warm through. Serve immediately while hot.

# Extra Information:

01 - For richer flavour, use freshly grated Parmesan and high-quality sun-dried tomatoes. Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes for desired heat.
