This recipe is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids love the pesto and they don't even realize they're eating tomatoes and olives.

I'm a vegetarian and I love this dish. I usually substitute roasted eggplant or zucchini for the chicken. It's a delicious and healthy meal that I can feel good about eating.

I made this dish for a party and it was a big hit. Everyone loved the combination of flavors. I also made a batch of the pesto ahead of time and it held up well in the refrigerator.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover tomatoes from your garden. I also like to add a handful of chopped walnuts to the pesto for a bit of extra crunch.
