This recipe is a winner! The chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The pesto sauce was the perfect finishing touch. I'll definitely be making this again.

The pesto chicken was a bit too oily for my taste. I think I'll try grilling the chicken next time instead of pan-frying it.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but the chicken came out dry and the pesto sauce was bland. I'll have to try again.

Not a fan of the pesto sauce. It was a bit too overpowering for the chicken.

The pesto chicken was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less salt next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the chicken turned out a bit dry. Not sure what went wrong, but I'll try again with a different cut of chicken.
