These sandwiches were a bit bland. I think I should have used a more flavorful pesto.

Not my favorite. The chicken was overcooked and the pesto was too oily.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the pesto was delicious. I would try marinating the chicken next time.

Not bad! The chicken was a bit bland, but the pesto helped. I would add some extra seasoning to the chicken next time.

These sandwiches were a bit dry. I think I should have grilled the chicken for less time. The pesto was good, but I would have liked more of it.
