I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted sunflower seeds for the pine nuts in the pesto.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I shredded the chicken and used it in tacos.

I didn't have any fresh basil, so I used dried basil instead. It still turned out great!

The chicken was a bit dry. I think I overcooked it.

This recipe was a bit too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less salt in the marinade.
