Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until it is browned on all sides, about 4-5 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.

Pour in the chicken broth and stir in the dried thyme and oregano. Return the chicken to the pan and let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes. Add the gnocchi and cook until tender, about 3-5 minutes.
Stir in the heavy cream and baby spinach, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until the spinach wilts. Taste and adjust salt and pepper if needed, then serve warm. Garnish with Parmesan if desired.
