Season chicken with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, add chicken thighs and cook, covered, until juice runs clear, about 4 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and keep warm in a 175° oven.
Chop the onion and garlic and grate the cheese while the chicken cooks.
Melt butter in the same skillet add onion and cook over medium heat until it begins to soften, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and Italian seasoning and continue to cook stirring often for another 2-3 minutes.
Pour in white wine vinegar and loosen any brown bits from the bottom of the pan, sprinkle with flour and cook stirring constantly for about 1 minute. Add chicken broth and stir until combined. Stir in heavy cream, sun dried tomatoes, Parmesan cheese and gnocchi and cook for about 4-5 minutes minutes stirring occasionally. Add spinach and stir until it has wilted
Place chicken (and any juice that accumulates) in the pan, stir and spoon the sauce over the chicken.

If you want to add a little kick then add a pinch of red pepper flakes, maybe 1/4 - 1 teaspoon, depending on how much heat you want.
