Making this delicious soup is straightforward if you follow these steps:

1. Prepare the Chicken: Dice the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.
2. Heat Oil: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
3. Brown the Chicken: Add the chicken to the pot, cooking for about 5-7 minutes until browned. Remove the chicken and set aside.
4. Sauté Aromatics: In the same pot, add the diced onion and garlic, cooking until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
5. Add Broth: Pour in the chicken broth, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pot for extra flavor.
6. Stir in Gnocchi: Add the potato gnocchi and return the cooked chicken to the pot. Let it simmer for about 5-7 minutes or until the gnocchi float to the surface.
7. Add Cream: Stir in the heavy cream and Italian seasoning and bring to a gentle simmer.
8. Incorporate Spinach: Add the chopped spinach and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until wilted.
9. Season: Taste and add salt and pepper as desired.
10. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls, garnishing with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
