This recipe is a bit too bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more garlic and chili pepper next time.

I'm not a huge fan of basil, but I still really enjoyed this recipe. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the pesto was very flavorful. I would definitely make this again, but I might use a different type of pesto next time.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I made a big batch of grilled chicken on the weekend, and then used it to make this dish during the week. It was quick and easy, and it tasted great.

The chicken was a little dry, but the basil pesto was delicious. I think I'll try marinating the chicken next time to see if that helps.

This recipe is a great starting point, but I made a few changes to suit my taste. I used a different type of pesto, and I added some grilled vegetables to the chicken. It turned out great!

I wasn't a big fan of the basil pesto. I thought it was a little too strong for my taste. However, the chicken itself was cooked perfectly and was very flavorful.

This recipe is easy to follow and the chicken turned out great! I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts and they cooked perfectly in the allotted time. The basil pesto was also a hit. I'll definitely be making this again.

I followed the recipe exactly and the chicken turned out perfectly. It was moist and tender, and the basil pesto was a great addition. I served it with roasted vegetables and it was a hit with my family.
