And oldie but goodie! I always get excited when we end up with extra ham in the house!
I had cooked this up and was very excited! One of my favorite meals, double the broth, and pour it over the top and oh does that garlic get delightful! If you have a large breast you can just make 1 and cut it in half to serve a 2 person meal, no left overs!
