Preheat oven to 190°C/ 365°F. Add chicken breasts to a large baking dish or tray, then coat all over in cajun seasoning and olive oil. Bake for 25 mins, basting once throughout cook time.
Heat butter in a large, deep pan on medium heat, then add onion and garlic. Fry for 5 mins, until soft, then add chicken stock and milk. Bring pan to a low simmer and cook down for 10-15 mins, stirring regularly - don’t allow sauce to boil aggressively, if it does then reduce heat.
Add cornflour to sauce and simmer for 2-3 mins, until sauce thickens, then add cajun seasoning, black pepper and light cream cheese. Once combined, add gnocchi and spinach, then simmer for 4 mins until gnocchi is soft and spinach is wilted ( if the sauce reduces too much, just add a splash of milk to loosen). Take pan off heat, allow to cool for 2 mins, then stir in parmesan.
Slice up cajun chicken breasts and serve on top of Gnocchi Alfredo. Top with a spoonful of the Alfredo sauce and black pepper.
