This was awesome. I had to substitute pesto for the basil but it still turned out fabulous. It makes a ton... great for serving company or bringing to a potluck.

This was good. I didn't use pecans and I used whole-wheat pasta. I could have used more garlic than it called for, but it was still very tasty!! It was also very colorful with green asparagus and red peppers. :)

This was very good. Everyone even my kids ate this. The only thing I changed was I didn't use quite as much pasta and I left out the nuts (my son hates nuts). Maybe next time I will try with nuts.

Delicious! My mother made this at my suggestion, and although she had to buy broccoli instead of asparagus (the store had a bad stock of asparagus), it was simply scrumptious. I was worried the pecans would taste odd in here, but they were very very subtle and were a nice touch. I plan on making it again both ways.

Fantastic spring time dish! It does work best to keep the pot covered when you add the chicken stock and also when you add the remaining ingredients. This way there is some liquid left when you add the parmesan and you don't need to add any more chicken stock. I will definately make this again!

WOW - this is a great dish and very easy to prepare. I grilled whole chicken breasts instead of tenderloins because that is what I had on hand. The combination of flavors was great. I will definitely make this one again.

We prepared this for a women's dinner at church, and everyone loved it! We cut back on the amount of pasta, but otherwise followed the recipe.

I found this recipe to be bland. I actually put a tablespoon of freshly minced garlic and everyone thought it could still use alot more. I also thought some red pepper flakes could have helped. I gradually added the parmesan cheese and it didn't blend in very nicely. I thought the pecans were a nice touch, but they kind of freaked my sister out when she thought it could possibly be a hard piece of chicken. I think the next time I would make it without the chicken, maybe just toss the parmesan on at the end rather than trying to blend it in and definitely add more spices.

Very good! Pretty healthy, too. Kids will eat this one (maybe picking out a veggie or two!)

Delicious! I had 6 people coming for dinner, everyone loved it and most had a second helping! This was extremely easy to make. I did add mushrooms and used Farfalle pasta instead of Penne. I also happened to have quite a bit of leftover chicken that I cooked in the slow cooker the previous night, so I used that instead of the breast strips. This is a nice, fairly healthy meal that I most certainly will make again.

Great dish- family loved it! Used Havarti cheese instead of parmesan- it melts better, and toasted the pecans while I was grilling the chicken

Great great dish. We made it for some friends that are getting married in 4 days. Very easy to prepare, and very filling. We doubled the recipe actually, and sent the remainder (which was quite a bit) home with them for the rest of the week so they didn't have to cook. Yea, it was that much. The only thing I would do differently is cut down the amount of Penne noodles the recipe calls for. The dish itself is so good, that you end up looking for a fork full without the noodles. They work well together, but I will probably use half the noodles next time.

Really liked this recipe. My husband, who really is picky about his chicken dishes, thought this was great. I did substitute pesto in place of the basil leaves, as I did not have fresh basil and the stuff at the store looked a bit less than fresh. Turned out great. Thanks for a super recipe.

Probably my favorite main-dish recipe of all time. I often make it with chicken sausage instead of grilled chicken strips, and it is always such a hit. Sam's Club sells a chicken-spinach sausage that is perfect for this recipe. Enjoy!
