1. Cut chicken into small pieces.

2. Place flour, salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper in a Ziploc bag, then place the chicken in the bag and shake to coat.

3. Heat vegetable oil in a large pot. 

4. Once hot, add the chicken and flour mix and stir occasionally until the chicken has browned.

5. Once the chicken has browned, add the chicken broth.

6. Cut the potato into medium large chunks.

7. Add the potatoes to the pot.

8. Add the tortellini to the pot along with water, thyme, rosemary, remaining 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, garlic  and salt to taste. Simmer for at least an hour, the longer the better. It would also be good in a crock pot.
