I added some sun-dried tomatoes and artichoke hearts to the pesto sauce. It gave the dish a nice Mediterranean flavor.

I'm a vegetarian, so I substituted the chicken with tofu. It worked out great! The tofu absorbed the flavors of the pesto sauce really well.

The chicken was a little dry, but the pesto sauce helped to make up for it.

This dish was a little too salty for my taste, but I think that's because I used a store-bought pesto sauce. I'll try making my own next time.
