Delicious!

Just a variation on this very nice recipe. Tried this recipe following it almost exactly but using White Fish and Flounder instead of chicken and some bottled marinara instead of sundried tomato pesto. Obviously, that called for a much shorter cooking time for the fish. It turned out great! This is one of those times when I wish Allrecipes allowed for notes on saved recipes, so I could also file this one under “Main Dishes-Fish” and be able to remember why.

Seemed there was a bit too much broth for our liking, but the flavor was there!
Mark Carrillo
Read a bunch of the reviews here before making it myself and did the following changes: used chicken thighs, added lemon pepper and italian seasoning to the flour/spice, and used a tomato medley that were the same size as grape tomatoes. Turned out pretty awesome!
Laura Gonzales
5/5 on family review liked it. I added some asparagus as grocery had nice skinny stalks. I added some garlic powder and also thickened with cornstarch and served over noodles. For me it was bland but still enjoyed it. My mother-in-law loved it. Will be fixing again. Thanks!

Light and fresh, ideal for summer dinner. Used turkey instead of chicken, but that’s not a big change. Also used classical green pesto, still amazing. Added way less stock, just stopped adding when it seemed enough for the main not to become a soup.
Eric Coleman
The flour mixture needed way more flavor. Ends up being a soup with all the chicken stock.
Thomas Reed
Yuck. The most blan food I’ve ever eaten.
Andrea Yang
I used thyme instead of basil and I added Parmesan cheese and a little more salt and pepper and some garlic powder and it tastes amazing One of the best new dishes I’ve tried in a while !
James Roberts
So light and refreshing! All five men/boys in my house loved it!
Valerie Rodriguez
Easy to make, but a little bland for my taste. I added in more pesto and it was fine. If I make it again, I’ll do the same and probably less chicken stock. Maybe only 1 and 3/4 cups.
Julie Richard
I used a TBL of basil. Perfect.
Gregory Riddle
While making this for dinner, I was looking through the photos and saw one with what looked like grated Parmesan. I thought, that’s a great idea. So I added it to the dish, with a little fresh parsley and it was excellent. Served over Pappardelle because… well, that’s what I had.
Andrea Mendoza
Good recipe! I added lots of my fresh grown basil and parsley, a little extra garlic and my own homemade pesto. I also used my fresh off the vine cherry tomatoes which are very sweet. I’ll make it again.
Hannah Day
Way too much liquid and the meal was VERY bland.
Jacob Fisher
Very tasty!
William Jenkins
It was terrible. There was way too much liquid before adding the frozen vegetables. It was more like chicken soup but tasteless.
Anthony Jones
I cooked it according to the recipe and absolutely loved it! It was a big hit with the family, and made a delicious healthy meal.
Stephanie Burns
This recipe was a bit different from other primavera recipes I have made in this past, I was use to a creamier sauce. However, this recipe turned out great and it was delicious. My grandson who dislikes vegeables even had a second helping of this dish. We had some leftover and ate it the next day and it was almost as good as when wwe first servied it. We realy liked the flavor of he broth and the vegetable mixture was fine. Will be making this one again.
Tyler Harris
Fantastic! Served over spaghettini. This will be a fave!
Sean Carrillo
This had no flavor, and had to add what was, in my opinion way too much salt and pepper. If I make again, I would add italian seasoning mixture to the breading, not just parsley and basil. I would decrease the stock to 2 cups, and add more fresh veggies such as mushrooms, maybe eggplant, broccoli and onion. I might add a splash of wine to it too. It just needs some bigger flavors. Definitely serve with Parm cheese, and even a sprinkle of mozzarella.
