I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pesto sauce turned out really oily. I think I might have used too much olive oil.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I always have chicken leftover from the weekend, and this is a great way to use it up.

I'm not a big fan of pesto, but I thought I'd give this recipe a try. I was pleasantly surprised! The pesto sauce was actually really good, and the chicken and pasta were cooked perfectly. I would definitely make this dish again.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add more garlic and Parmesan cheese next time.
