  1. The dish was o.k. The pesto kept the chicken moist during baking, but the texture (of the pesto) was kind of grainy. I also didn't see the need to place the chicken under the broiler at the end, since the pesto was browned when I took the chicken out of the oven. Another layer of pesto would have been too much.
     
  2. This is a great dish, very easy to prepare. Will be making this again.
