Steps
Combine arugula, parsley, cheese and oil in food processor and puree until smooth. Pulse in garlic and salt. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Toss 1 tbsp (15 mL) of the oil, oregano, basil, hot pepper flakes and half of the salt with chicken pieces.
Heat remaining oil in large shallow saucepan over medium-high heat and brown chicken pieces all over. Remove to plate and reduce heat to medium-low.
Cook onion, carrot and parsley for 3 minutes or until softened. Add wine and simmer, scraping up bottom of pan for 1 minute. Stir in tomato paste until smooth. Add chicken broth and remaining salt; bring to a simmer.
Return chicken and any accumulated juices to saucepan; cover and simmer for 20 minutes. Stir in gnocchi; cover and cook, stirring occasionally for about 10 minutes or until gnocchi are tender and chicken is no longer pink inside and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Spoon into shallow bowls and dollop with arugula pesto to serve.
