I'm not a huge fan of pesto, but I really enjoyed this dish. The pesto sauce was creamy and flavorful, and the chicken was cooked to perfection. I would definitely make this again.

This dish is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids love the pesto sauce, and they don't even notice the vegetables that I sneak into it.

I love that this recipe can be prepped ahead of time. I usually make the pesto sauce and cook the chicken on the weekend, and then I just assemble the pasta dish during the week. It's so easy and convenient!

This recipe is a keeper! It's easy to follow and the results are amazing. The chicken is juicy and tender, and the pesto sauce is creamy and flavorful. I served it over pasta, but it would also be great on rice or quinoa.
