Bring a large skillet to medium heat on the stovetop with the olive oil. Sprinkle the salt and pepper over the pieces of chicken. Cook the chicken in the pan 4-5 minutes until fully cooked and browned. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
While the chicken cooks, cook the gnocchi according to the package instructions.
Add the garlic, onion, mushrooms, Italian seasoning, paprika and red chili flakes to the pan. Saute until the vegetables are translucent.
Add the chicken broth to the skillet and whisk the broth as you pour in the half and half. Continue whisking until the sauce thickens.
