Instructions
Place an oven rack in the upper third of your oven, and preheat the broiler on low.
Put the tablespoon of olive oil into a large oven-proof skillet that has been warmed over medium heat. Sauté garlic and onion for about 3 minutes until translucent. Add gnocchi and stir after 2 minutes, cooking for a total of about 3 - 4 minutes.
Add chicken, pasta sauce, the 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper, and mix well. Reduce heat to medium low. Cover and cook for 5 minutes.
In a medium microwavable bowl, melt the butter. Add the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning and mix until completely combined.
Remove cover from the oven-proof skillet, and sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the top of the skillet. Evenly distribute the panko crumb topping.
Place into oven and broil for about 5-7 minutes or until cheese has melted and bread crumbs are golden.
