Wow!!! My house smelled wonderful while this was cooking, couldn't wait to eat it for my lunch. I scaled back the recipe and used boneless, skinless chicken breast. I used recipe#234198, #234198 for the pesto sauce, which also worked well for my Weight Watcher diet. Since I was at home, I made mine in the oven. I covered it and cooked for about 1 hour at 275 degrees and then uncovered it for about 15-20 minutes at 350 degrees. Thanks for sharing the recipe and good luck with the contest!!

I love that this is a complete meal done ahead of time, and the pesto gives it a great flavor. I used a half cup of broth (for a half recipe), but I think I would add more next time, so the chicken can soak up the juiciness from it - and I think to make it more "stew-like" wouldn't be a bad thing either. Any which way, a very good all-in-one dish!

Hello! I have a wonderful husband and two fantastic kids. I love to read, have fun with family and friends, stay active with: running; soccer; golf; biking; hiking; and gardening. I love to travel. I'm looking forward to more international travel someday. Cooking has become a passion for me. I love to read cookbooks, watch the Food Network, and try new recipes. I have way too many cookbooks! A few of my favorites are: Barefoot Contessa (any - but especially 'Family Style'),Rachael Ray 30-Minute Meals 2, Roasting by Barbara Kafka, Beyond Parsley & The Black Dog Summer on the Vineyard Cookbook. I try to carefully choose recipes that I think my family will enjoy, which is why most of my ratings are 3-5 stars. Happy cooking!
