Chicken in Creamy Tomato Sauce

Some day I will learn to write where I got a recipe.  None of the recipes are my own creation. but when I was collecting recipes, I never dreamed I would be writing a blog and needed to know where I got the recipe.  I had some left-over uncooked fresh tortellini in the refrigerator and used it with this dish.  I just put the cooked pasta on the bottom, added a chicken breast and then spooned some sauce over the whole thing.
