Loved this - couldn't stop eating it - wanted a dish with broccoli ... I used a semi wholewheat and didn't realise chicken needed to be pre-cooked so ended up sauteing it with the garlic then add the broccoli and tomato etc. in. Errr, also realised didn't have any pesto (I was winging it :) ) but figured it would be good with some parmesan and black pepper anyways - looking forward to trying it with pesto :)

Added some onion which I sauteed with pesto/chiken. Used ALOT more broccoli as my fam likes it. USed one can of italian seasoned diced tomatoes (undrained, 14.5 oz). Doubled the pesto and used about 12 oz of pre-cooked Tyson chicken. Also marinated onion/garlic/pesto mixture in a dash of white wine. VERY GOOD. Entire family liked it. Highly recommend.

This was a great recipe! Made in 30 minutes. Altered a bid. I sauteed the chicken with olive oil and 1/4 cup of white cooking wine. Add to the pan 1/4 cup of red onion, fresh garlic, and 1/2 cup of fresh red pepper. Used Bow Tie Pasta. Used frozen broccoli, Used about 4 tablespoons of homemade pesto. Followed the rest of the recipe (cheese etc.)Yummy. Next time may add black olives, mushrooms, or toasted pine nut. Very flexible recipe.

This is exactly what I was looking for! I grilled the chicken breast and subbed bow tie pasta cooked al dente. Great flavor. This one goes in my favorite file!

i made this for a dinner party and it was an absolute hit!! i went for the healthier wheat pasta, and used penne. i didn't have fresh broccoli, but was able to substitute with frozen -much simpler, but doesn't look as pretty. i'm glad for the suggestions to add more pesto. i added more pesto and minced garlic to taste (not sure how much, probably double on pesto and and extra spoonful of the garlic). i also sautéed the chicken in lemon juice, for an extra kick that worked out well. thanks for the recipe!

VERY simple and good recipe. I ended up adding extra pesto and sliced mushrooms just cause i felt like it needed more than broccoli, tomato and chicken. I added the tomato at the very end,just to heat through, so it can keep its shape.

This was great. I chopped and added one zucchini and two yellow squash (crookneck) and sauted them for around 10 minutes in with the minced garlic and pesto sauce. I used the veggie rigatoni pasta (also known as Wacky Mac). Added 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes for just a little bit of warmth.

This was very good. Instead of using fresh tomatoes I used a can of Italian diced tomatoes and juice. This made a good little sauce. I also went ahead and mixed the broccoli, chicken, and Parmesan cheese in the saute pan with the tomato mixture towards the end. This ensured everything was heated through and allowed the flavors to meld. This was also a very simple recipe; easy to make. May try it with asparagus instead of broccoli next time (just to change up the veggies, the broccoli was good). Thanks!

Delicious, I agree with other reviews I doubled the pesto. You can add anything else for veggies to add to this recipe but it is solid as it stands!

Great recipe. Definitely restaurant-quality. I have to agree with the others, it definitely needs at least 3, if not 4 tablespoons of pesto. Will make again and again!

This is SUCH a great recipe. I have cooked it several times now for different company and ALL have enjoyed. I followed the recipe exactly except I added Peas and Zucchini and did not use the tomatoes since were not big fans of cooked tomatoes. I also used others suggestions and added more pesto. SOOO YUMMY!

Very, very good dish - a definite keeper in my Recipe Box. We've had it 3 times in the last month! I make it with whole wheat or Barilla Plus pasta to make it more healthy. My 2 and 5 year olds even eat it - I just have to give it to them before I add the broccoli!

This was good. Definitely add some extra pesto, though. I used about 4 tablespoons and I think next time I'll use even more.

Sooo YUMMY!!! This has a vibrant flavor and it is a meal in itself. I prepped my chicken by baking it with some garlic salt and pepper, about 20 minutes at 400. I used twice as much pesto as called for and followed everything else. I let the chicken sit for 10 minutes and cubed it while the pasta was cooking. I threw my broccoli in with the pasta and made sure to heavily salt the water. I was a little worried about the sauce because it looked so oily but after adding in the parmesan it was just right. I even added the chicken drippings for a little more sauce. Really, this is one of the best pasta dishes and it's a nice change from red or cream sauces. I think salting the pasta water and making sure the chicken was well seasoned ensured it was not bland. Thank you so much for this one!

Awesome dish! My family loved this recipe. I changed a few things to enhance the flavor. I marinated the chicken with rosemary, garlic, lemon juice and rind. Instead of diced tomatoes, I used sun dried tomatoes. What a refreshing taste even when incorporated with the other dominant flavors. Definately a keeper!
