3. In the same pan, sauté the onion until translucent, about 4-5 minutes, then add the garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
4. Stir in the sun-dried tomato paste and cook for 1-2 minutes until darkened.
5. Pour in the chicken stock and double cream, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.
6. Stir in the parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
7. Add the gnocchi and cooked chicken back into the pan, simmering for 3-5 minutes until the gnocchi is tender and coated in the sauce.
