This recipe is a bit bland for my taste. I would add more spices or herbs next time.

I'm not a fan of asparagus, but I loved this dish. The pesto sauce and chicken were so flavorful that I didn't even notice the asparagus.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover pesto. I always have a jar of pesto in my fridge, so this recipe is a lifesaver.

I used frozen asparagus instead of fresh, and it worked just as well. The dish was still delicious and easy to make.

I added sun-dried tomatoes and artichoke hearts to the pesto sauce for an extra pop of flavor. It was a delicious addition that I highly recommend.

Not a fan of pesto, so I substituted it with a garlic-herb marinade. Turned out great! The chicken was moist and flavorful, and the asparagus was roasted perfectly.

This dish was a disappointment. The chicken was dry and overcooked, and the asparagus was limp and bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

This pesto baked chicken and asparagus dish turned out incredibly flavorful and juicy. The pesto marinade infused the chicken with a delightful herbaceous flavor, while the asparagus roasted perfectly, maintaining its vibrant green color and crisp te
