[email protected]This dish was okay. The chicken was cooked well but the pesto sauce was a bit too salty for my taste. I would probably make this again but I would reduce the amount of salt in the pesto sauce.

[email protected]I was really excited to try this recipe but I was disappointed. The chicken was dry and the pesto sauce was bland. I followed the recipe exactly so I'm not sure what went wrong. Maybe I just got a bad batch of chicken?
