From all the reviews, I expected this to be absolutely fantastic. It was good, but definitely not the best. I did have to up the flavour a bit because what the recipe called for made it a bit bland.

This recipe has ruined all other pesto that I eat beause it is so much better. We make huge batches of it with our basil plants and freeze in mini muffin pan cups. It is an easy dish in the winter to just pop a couple in the microwave to defrost.

LOVED IT! Used homemade pesto and added sliced white mushrooms & zucchini. Very fresh and flavorful. Will make this again and again!

Delicious. Great comfort food. I used the "Simple Garlic Basil Pesto" from this site. I added a cup of cream and left out the cilantro. Yummy!!

This Dish is delicious. The only thing I had to change was the chili paste. I couldn't find it at my local store. I did find roasted chili peppers in oil. I added crushed pepper, tom. paste and made my own paste, this worked well.

I would make this again and again!! It turned out to be so much better than I anticipated. I used chili powder and cayenne pepper instead of chile paste. Along with chicken I also added some shrimp, peas, and broccoli. Chicken turned out to be a bit dry, but the shrimps were succulent and well-seasoned. Also, I added some reserved, salted pasta water to the dish and it created creamy, cheesy sauce. oh, I omitted cilantro. Now I'm really curious how the dish would taste with chile paste.

This recipe was absolutely delicious! Didn't have chile paste so I used garlic chile sauce. Had quite a bite but we loved it! Will definately make this again. Thanks!

WOW!!! I prepared this exactly as written and my family thought it was excellent. I think the key is the chile paste which adds a lot of flavor and spice to the chicken. I found the paste in the Asian section of my local grocery store. This is definitely a recipe I will make again.

I've got to say, we really didn't enjoy this dish and I was surprised because we are usually always thrilled with the dishes I've made from AR, as I typically choose higher stars with a lot of ratings, but we found this to be pretty bland, especially the chicken. I won't be making it again. I'm bummed!

My husband & I really enjoyed this recipe. It was quick, easy and yummy. I did make a few changes, but not many. Since we don't eat meat, I used Trader Joe's Soy Chicken. We like pesto, so I added more. I also sautéed some onions and added some defrosted peas at the end. Yum! Will make this again.
