Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
Put the chicken in a large bowl. Add the sliced onion, ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil, sliced garlic, 2 teaspoons dried oregano, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, ½-1 teaspoon crushed red pepper, and black pepper to taste. Toss the chicken around until it's evenly coated. * At this point, you can cover the seasoned chicken and refrigerate up to 1 day ahead of baking.
On a 12x15x1-inch rimmed baking sheet, spread out the gnocchi. Nestle the chicken in and around the gnocchi - make sure to scrape out and include all the olive oil and seasonings. Pour the tomatoes around the chicken and gnocchi.
Bake 20 minutes. Turn the chicken pieces over, using a pair of tongs or a spatula. Crumble the cheese evenly over the top. If you're using ricotta, spoon it over in random blobs. Return the pan to the oven and bake 5-7 more minutes, until the pan juices are bubbling and the cheese is very soft.
Roughly tear the basil leaves and scatter over the chicken. Serve and enjoy!
