I did make some changes but suspect this would be great with any number of changes or none at all. We have one vegetarian, so I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth (also added the cooked chicken last so I could serve some without). I added a little cajun seasoning and a bit of red pepper flakes. I was pretty liberal with the amounts of ingredients as well as I was fudging a slightly larger batch and I frequently don't measure. Lastly, I toasted the pecans with some shelled pumpkin seeds that I need to use up. Rave reviews from all of us. Thanks for sharing!

I made this exactly like the recipe called for!!! Its the first time my man said put this on the menu!!! I added mushrooms and it was sooooo good... I did follow the advice noodles and the only change I would make is like others stir in the parmesan after because it did all stick together which was a bummer... still 5 stars

Wow wow wow.....this was SO good!!! I ommitted the pecans because we didn't have any and used frozen basil from last year's garden....it was delicious. I also used 8 oz of pasta and it was just the right amount. This will be on the menu often! Thanks for a great recipe!

Even our kids like it! The only change I used was Romano cheese instead of Parmesan. It was delicious -- even as leftovers.

Amazing. I only had one bunch of asparagus, but I agree 2 would have been better, I love asparagus. I used boneless skinless chicken thighs and tossed them on the grill pan and broke the pecans into pieces. I didn't have fresh basil I used dry... YUMMY a total keeper

Great dish! I used fettuccini pasta instead of penne pasta, added 2 tbs of lemon juice at the and, and used slivered almonds instead of pecans.

This was very good! I added a lot of fresh veggies because we lacked them over the weekend. ;) I used asparagus, green beans, baby carrots, spinach. I used leftover chicken, but didn't have a lot so added a can of black beans for more protein. My 5 year old twins LOVED it, as did hubby and I.

Yeeeeaaaaah! Loved this one. Much more flavorful than i expected it to be! Sauteed the chicken in a little bit of lemon pepper instead of grilling it and went a little lighter on the butter. Amazing flavor!

This pasta was a good one! I thought the sauce was a bit bland first so I added garlic pwder, lots of salt, more basil and bacon bits. Good recipe to start, but for me and my salty tastes, it ended up great. Definately a must try

This was good, not wonderful. NOTE: I halved this recipe and it still made enough for Jack, Jenny, and I for one night and then for Jack and I for leftovers. I already had frozen, grilled chicken tenders so I sliced them up instead of buying grilled chicken strips...although they may have had more flavor.
