Tortellini, Chicken, and Arugula Salad

I saw this recipe in the latest magazine.  I showed to D and he said ok.  We have been slack going to the grocery store, so I went after work to pick up the ingredients, while he texted me to let me know what we did and didn't have.

Anyway, about 10 minutes after I got home, dinner was ready (he may have started boiling the water while I was at the store).  The taste was good, and a bit light.  D made it 3 servings, although I think I could have done 4.

We would have again, especially for how fast it was.
