Ingredients:  
1lb frozen or fresh Tortellini

1 package garlic and herb Aloutte or Boursin Cheese

2 cups of heavy cream (1pint) plus extra if needed

1 rotisserie chicken, as much as your heart desires or 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into 1 inch cubes

3 oz packaged sundried tomatoes, finely diced. If using jarred tomatoes drain the liquid first

2 cups baby spinach, don't use frozen it has a gross texture

1 jar artichoke hearts- I haven't tried this yet, but I think it would be tasty

1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

Lemon for zesting

Salt and pepper to taste

Olive oil for searing
Directions:
Directions:
Heat up olive oil in a nonstick pan over high heat.

Season chicken with salt and pepper. Place into the pan and allow to brown for 3-4 minutes. You do not want it to brown completely, just a little color is all we are looking for. Do not worry about cooking it all the way through. It will finish cooking in the sauce.

-OR- listen to my advise and get a rotisserie. SO much easier!

Turn heat down to medium and add in your Alloutte or Boursin Cheese. Using a wooden spoon or spatula mix the cheese in until melted.

Add in your heavy cream and bring up to a very gentle simmer. This should take about 45-60 seconds.

Add in the sundried tomatoes and the tortellini.

Cover with a lid and let it simmer undisturbed for 4-5 minutes. Add in more heavy cream ½ a cup at a time if more liquid is necessary. If you still need more liquid chicken stock works well. Also for re-heating.

Check the tortellini and make sure it is fully cooked.

Add fresh spinach and artichoke hearts. Mix to combine. Close lid and allow to cook until wilted. Remove heat and mix in parmesan cheese immediately.

Garnish with lemon zest and more black pepper

Serve with a crusty bread to mop up all the sauce!
