Quick and easy! I usually have quality pesto but I just decided to try Great Value and it was good in this! I used cream of mushroom because that’s all I had. Added red pepper flakes for our taste. Yummy and after a long active day I didn’t want to be in the kitchen for long. Try it!
This is a family crowd pleaser. Everyone loves it! I added some pine nuts and 1/8 tsp of chili powder for a little kick. It’s become a staple in our house.
This recipe is amazing! Super easy to make and everyone i’ve ever made it for loves it. If you’re generally dairy free like me, or like thinner sauces, replace the milk with water!
And, YES! it was yummy! I made exactly as written, except (of course) I added a 5oz package of fresh spinach which I had bought for a different recipe by mistake (didn’t want it to go bad), an extra tsp of minced garlic and the whole 7oz pouch of Carla’s Pesto with Pine nuts. will definitely make again.
Good, fast, or cheap – pick any two right?
Well, here’s the exception because you get all three. This meal is a week night surprise, or a weekend pleasure, or compliments from your guest.

So tasty! Easy to adapt for overseas living. Love anything pesto.
Easy to make and delicious. My family loved it !
I didn’t use cream, I went with an olive oil base and it was delicious! Quick and easy!!
SO Disappointed…there was NO flavor. All I could taste was the cream of chicken. Bummed that I went out and spent 20$ on the groceries and it didn’t turn out well. I would take out the cream of chicken and do an olive oil based sauce. I didn’t even finish eating and threw the rest away.
The success of this recipe is directly related to your pesto choice. The packaged mixes are not as yummy as the jarred ones or even making it fresh. So it can be hit or miss. I gave it 3 of 5 because three of our five family members liked it.
