Yeah I didn't look at any labels. I just bought ingredients not checking to see if it was actually low sodium or fat free...

I wonder if I could make it with chicken? I am so not a ham person - and since I live alone? It's me eating it.

yeah I think chicken would work but less flavor in chicken (ham is salt cured) so you might need a bit of something to give it some zing. Do try and post your results. We eat a lot of chx too.
