I made this with leftover ham after Christmas. We had company over, and thank goodness I made 1.5 times the recipe. Everyone had seconds - even the kids! I think some might have even sneaked thirds. Everyone complimented the dish for its heartiness. This was a very tasty recipe, and one I'll make again. Thanks for sharing a great recipe!

This was a very good & very satisfying meal, especially considering this is a lowfat dish. I really enjoyed the combination of ingredients - the chicken broth really gave the sauce a nice flavor and the vegetables were very colorful. This was also very economical. I used leftover chunks of ham instead of the canned ham. Thanks for a delightful family dinner!
