Great recipe! I added zucchini and roasted peppers for some color. It was amazing, easy and delish , thanks for the recipe!
Amanda Williamson
Easy and delicious. Thank you!
Shannon Hayes
Simple quick meal that is really good and filling!
Jamie Buckley
It was just OK in my opinion. I was concerned this recipe would be bland so I added some poultry seasoning and garlic powder to the chicken. I added some frozen spinach (thawed) and cherry tomatoes. It still didn’t have the “umph” I was expecting. Especially because one review said it was restaurant quality.I disagree. It still seemed bland to me. If I ever make it again I would say adding fresh garlic is a must. Maybe some sun dried tomatoes too.

This is really good the way it is. Very simple and very fast. I added about 1/2 c sour cream and about 2 T. Worcestershire sauce, also a bit more pesto. This is going to be a keeper for me.

Valerie Carey

Kathleen Turner
Very good and easy. I added mushrooms and parmesan cheese
Michael Khan
Husband approved. I used spaghetti since it’s what I had. I seasoned the chicken with s&p, garlic powder, and onion powder. Everything else I followed the recipe to a t. Nice, quick & easy dinner! Thanks for the recipe!
John Jackson
Made this dish about 3 times. Super easy & my family loved it. Think I’ll try shrimp or beef for variety.
Andrew Boyd
This was ok. The pesto was too strong for my taste. I did follow the recipe.
Adrian Blair
So good! This is my new, easy weeknight dinner. I didn’t have bow-tie pasta so I subbed in penne and it worked perfectly. I also used a 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese, a 1/2 tsp. of garlic and 2/3 of a cup of pesto. So easy, and so delicious!
Jerry Smith
Family favorite. It’s an easy week night meal. No changes needed for our family.
Danny Rubio
This is a favorite at my house. Quick and easy. I always keep a jar of pesto for this meal. I make this as is maybe with a little less pesto. The kids love it. I also make with sun dried tomato pesto which might even be better.
Kent Hood
This was fantastic! I added fresh, diced tomatoes and fresh spinach in the last 5 minutes of cooking, and it came out great.
Molly Pearson
I live it, next time I’ll add broccoli!
Daniel Smith
Quick , Easy and Scrumptious
Dana Roberts
This should be called “nothin but pesto pasta”. I like pesto but 1/2 cup is outrageous. I followed the recipe, but next time I’d 1/4 cup pesto and add some veggies like mushrooms or spinach and some additional seasonings like garlic or oregano.
Kelly Phillips
I always ask my husband to do a taste test to see if anything needed to be added. I thought it was good just the way it was. That being said, I think next time I will add sautéed mushrooms and maybe some sautéed garlic.
Brandon Cobb
Added some garlic powder next time will use minced garlic will go in y meal rotation yummy
Mary Neal
I added raw broccoli and topped it with Parmesan cheese. My son wants to try spinach leaves the next time. He loved it.
