Printable Recipe

Cut 3/4 to 1 lb of chicken into small pieces

Place 1/4 cup of flour, 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper in a ziplock bag, then place the chicken in the bag and shake to coat

Heat 2 tbsp of vegetable oil in a large pot.  Once hot add the chicken and flour mix and stir occasionally until brown the chicken

Once the chicken has browned, add 1 cup of chicken broth

Cut one large russet potato into medium large chunks

Add the potatoes to the pot

Next add in about 2/3 of a package (about 5 oz)  of dried cheese tortellini

Add the tortellini to the pot along with 2 cups water, 1/2 tsp thyme, 1 tsp rosemary, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 1/2 tsp garlic  and salt to taste.

Simmer for at least an hour, the longer the better, I think it would also be good in a crock pot.

I served mine with some fresh baked bread.

First of all, no judgment on all of the pork in my blog, okay?  We like the pig!

I started making this dish a couple months ago and we both love it.

This stuff is your best friend, its delicious!  Lysanders pork rub.

Rub that generously all over your pork loin.

Then sear it on all 4 sides in a hot pan.

Then cut up some potatoes.  It dosen’t even matter if you have messed up and get some that are PURPLE inside!!!

Next, wrap some bacon around the seasoned pork loin thusly

Toss the potatoes with a dash of olive oil and some of the Lysanders and then throw them in the pan with the pork

Bake at around 375 for 35 minutes or so until the pork reaches between 145 and 170 degrees.

The last 10-15 minutes I like to take the potatoes out and crisp them up on a separate pan.

And its done!
