2nd sons favourite dish. We eat this about once a month, though I vary the pesto, and occasionally add capsicums or olives.

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

This dish was too complicated to make. I had to spend a lot of time chopping vegetables and preparing the sauce. It wasn't worth the effort.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the sauce was delicious. I would recommend cooking the chicken for a shorter amount of time or using a different cooking method.

I had a hard time finding pesto sauce at my local grocery store. I ended up making my own, but it didn't turn out as well as I hoped.

This dish was a bit too bland for my taste. I would recommend adding more spices or herbs to give it more flavor.
