This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have been better off adding some more spices to the pesto sauce.

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I would have been better off using less salt in the pesto sauce.

This dish was a bit too heavy for my taste. The pesto sauce was a bit too oily, and the chicken and zucchini were a bit too greasy. I think I would have been better off baking the chicken and zucchini instead of frying them.

I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and it's always a hit with my friends and family. I usually add some sun-dried tomatoes and artichoke hearts to the pesto sauce, and I always serve it over whole wheat pasta.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I added some extra garlic and red pepper flakes to the pesto sauce, and that helped a lot. The chicken and zucchini were also a bit dry. I think I would have been better off cooking them in a skillet with
