This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had added more spices to the chicken and the sauce. I also think it would have been better if I had used a different type of rice, such as brown rice.

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste. The pesto sauce was very creamy and the chicken was a bit too oily. I think I would have liked it better if I had used a lighter sauce, such as a tomato sauce.

I tried this recipe last night and it was a hit with my family! The chicken was cooked perfectly and the pesto sauce was creamy and flavorful. The only thing I would change is to add more vegetables to the dish, such as broccoli or bell peppers.
