Overall, I thought this recipe was just okay. The chicken and pesto filling was good, but the peppers were a bit bland. I think I would have liked them better if I had used a different type of pepper.

These stuffed peppers were good, but not great. The chicken and pesto filling was flavorful, but the peppers were a bit too soft for my taste.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my stuffed peppers turned out dry and overcooked. I think I would have been better off cooking them at a lower temperature for a longer period of time.

These stuffed peppers were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if I had used a different type of pesto, or if I had added some more spices to the filling.

These stuffed peppers were easy to make and turned out great! I used ground turkey instead of chicken, and it was still very flavorful. I also added some chopped sun-dried tomatoes to the filling, which gave it a nice tang.
