Overall, this was a good recipe. I would definitely make it again, but I would make a few changes to suit my own taste.

The chicken in this dish was a bit dry. I think I would have liked it more if I had cooked it for a shorter amount of time.

I found this dish to be a bit too oily. I think I would have preferred it if I had used less olive oil.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it more if I had added some extra spices or herbs.

I'm not usually a fan of farro, but this recipe changed my mind. The pesto and smoked mozzarella really elevated the dish and made it something special.
