I think we are not fans of pesto being creamy. The dark meat didn’t blend well with the flavors. Tossed the big pan of leftovers out.

Super simple and taste great! I would use chicken tenderloins but I am not a fan of dark meat. One of my new favorites!

my dinner came out great. i used the recipe more like a guide line than anything else. ii doubled the entire recipe except the amount of milk. i kept that the same. i used fresh harvested mushrooms that i sweat down before adding them to the dish. foods taste will vary based on the pestol. mine has been made in the fridge for a while so it had time to marinate and let the flavor reach peak. definitely an easy dish if you have the contents already prepped and ready to go.

It was delicious! Not too hot either. Right amount of spiciness I thought.

A.M.Azing!! milk gave it a little bit of creaminess but didn't outweigh the pesto 😘

Very good! I substituted chicken broth for the milk and actually liked it even better.

Great dish!!! Used thin sliced breast’s. Cut the chicken into thin strips as well as the sun dried tomato. Used the small can of mushrooms for ease! Turned out GREAT!!! I’m stuffed

This was flavorful. I used mini rigatoni and added 2 links of precooked chicken sausage. I used only 5 oz of pasta and that was plenty. I also slightly thickened the sauce with 1 tbsp of pasta water and tsp corn starch. Also I wouldn’t chop the chicken I would cut it into bite sized pieces.

This turned out well. I enjoyed it and it was easy to make. If I were to chose a pasta recipe for dinner again I would pick something that isn’t so heavy.

Made this for company last night. Needless to say, it was a big hit. We added a bit of asparagus cuts to it, but all else per the recipe. Thank you for an uncomplicated bur delicious recipe.

This is absolutely delicious! I didn’t have chilli flakes so I put in a small amount of finely chopped chillies and some onions and red pepper.
Slightly high in calories for me as I am on a very low calorie diet but I had a massive walk today and that made this dish calorie free!! I will definitely be cooking and eating this again. Added bonus .... it’s so easy

Delicioso. A great hearty and savory meal that my whole family enjoyed. (Kids picked out the mushrooms lol)

Easy & very flavorful -- a new favorite. I also made it with shrimp! If you like your pasta with an extra kick, I'd add another 1/4 tea tsp of red pepper flakes, but it is great as it is too!

I've made this recipe several times already. Delicious! Didn't really modify it. Kept the recipe as is. Best part, 1 pan and effortless.

Easy yet full of flavours. I didn't alter the recipe and we loved it! Next time all try to make it with shrimp. This recipe is for keeps!!

Loved this recipe! Very easy to make. I switched up the ingredients to accommodate what I had in the fridge. I switched the chicken to shrimp and used spinach instead of basil. The kids loved it. Thank you!!!
