Notes
- *We like to use Better Than Bouillon to keep costs down. The recommended ratio for broth using Better Than Bouillon is 1 tsp bouillon to 1 cup water. As the bouillon is already salty, I didn't add any extra salt to this recipe. If you aren't using bouillon, you may want to add 1 tsp of salt when you add your broth to the skillet.
