This dish was just okay. The chicken was a bit dry and the pesto was a little too oily. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This recipe was a disappointment. The chicken was dry and the pesto was bland. I followed the recipe exactly but it just didn't turn out well. I wouldn't recommend this recipe to anyone.

Wow! This chicken pesto dish was a hit! The pesto was incredibly flavorful and the chicken was perfectly cooked. The sun-dried tomatoes and pine nuts added a nice touch of texture and flavor. I would definitely recommend this recipe to anyone looking

This dish was easy to make and so delicious! The chicken was moist and flavorful, and the pesto was creamy and tangy. I loved the sun-dried tomatoes and pine nuts, too. I will definitely make this again.

I'm not a huge fan of pesto but this recipe changed my mind. The combination of chicken, pesto, and sun dried tomatoes was amazing. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the sauce was creamy and flavorful. I can't wait to try it again!

This chicken pesto was an explosion of flavors! The chicken was juicy and tender, the pesto was nutty and fragrant. I followed the recipe and it turned out perfectly. My family loved it and I'll definitely be making this again.
